The rendezvous – the garden of the Hotel Beau Site in Talloires
We had a rendezvous to arrange … and it had to be perfect.
Our final choice was the Hotel Beau Site in Talloires. It looked beautiful on its website – more like an old, elegant home than a hotel – and, more important, it had grounds that seemed to lead down to a private beach on a pristine lake.
The bad news – it was a self-promoting hotel an easy drive from of some the most famous ski slopes in Europe. Surely a web-trap?
Supporters in the Stadio San Paolo

Vfl Wolfsburg were in town and SCC Napoli had to hold its nerve.
Reflection of the horse that followed me to Benevento
I didn’t expect to see the horse. The guidebooks never mentioned that one would be there, nor that others would be hidden in the same space.
My first sight of the horse was in Naples. He’s tucked around the back of the Royal Palace where he struggles to climb out of a mound of salt. You don’t forget horses like that.
