Fine Dining at Fiori di Murano Sanremo Italy

The minute you walk into Fiori di Murano at the Royal Hotel Sanremo your eyes fixed on the glass flowers.  These appear suspended from the ceiling, as chandeliers, on the walls, and artistically decorate this magnificent restaurant.

Vaduz Liechtenstein – the perfect place to base ourselves

We leave Munich, Germany after four glorious sunny days, and drive through the countryside.  I feel the change in the weather, and suddenly we are seeing snow on the sides of the road. The housing styles also are varying from what we have seen in Eastern Europe the past few months. We sadly leave our […]
