  Written October 2009

  A great variety of places and sights throughout the holiday - some seaside and swim opportunity and lots of mountain walks.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  The night in the mountain hut - with a fantastic sunset was quite memorable.  Mountain peaks as far as you can see - and beautiful silence.

  But all of the mountain walks were good - day 2 walk allows a view of all the little islands from the top of the mountain.

  The mountain hut owners are always welcoming and their traditional welcome with home made herbal grappa is great fuel for the the afternoon walk.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Very knowledgeable and helpful - proud of his country - and with an interesting life background and story.

  All the mountian hut owners also have an interesting life story - due to the political history of the area.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Be prepared for a variety of walks and temperatures - some in full sunshine and hot. some in shaded woods and a bit cooler - and some on top of very windy and chilly mountains.

  Also bring your swimming costume for the swim in the bay on day 1-3.

  The hotel also has a little pool and whirlpool.

  Lunches at mountain huts are seriously fab - but you need to like beans!

  Relax and be prepared to have great conversations with your fellow travellers - our group was fantastic!!

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  There are chances you may bump into a bear - we saw bear poo!

  Don't overdo the grappa - it's lethal!
