breathtaking cinque terre challenge
Ahh, Italy’s Cinque Terre – where vistas are breathtaking and olive groves and vineyards cover the mountains that plunge into the sea. Exploring this dramatic coast should be on everyone’s bucket list and Carol Watson was so glad she rose to the challenge of walking the whole way…
“I was quite nervous if I would have the fitness to explore the Cinque Terre. I’d read about the hilly terrain and how long the walk was between each of the villages, so I was surprised at how I conquered all 5 villages on foot.

From the historic Bund in Shanghai to the incredible Terracotta Warriors and of course the amazing Great Wall of China, seeing China’s iconic sights is obviously a great thrill for tourists and locals alike.
