Avignon
If you want to go somewhere romantic then head to Avignon , France ...in summer . The history in that place is amazing and the fields of lavender are so breathtaking. I went here with Contiki years ago and still dream
about it. The little place called Nice on the French Riviera is just magic, although it took a while to get used to the pebbles on the beach rather then the sand we have here in Australia...And the tan that I got was like this golden colour - not red (which is my normal tanning option)
Contiki took us through Italy, Venice , Hopfgarten, Austria, Paris,then on to London. My advice is if you are going to go all the way over to Europe then make sure you make it to Spain as I regret not jet setting there while I was in travel mode. Also - try and get to Stonehenge if your in the UK as I never got there either and to this day wish I had . (Tracy Baird – Brisbane Australia)
