The Yemen, I find their architecture and towns mesmerising.

Sadly, I am unlikely to be able to visit it in my lifetime. It is now a broken society, destroyed physically and morally by arab powers hiding their power play behind warring local factions.

We went ro Rome 47 years ago on honeymoon. It was wonderful but I have heard that it is now dirty and too touristy. We keep wondering whether to go again but have decided to leave it to our memories.

I'd love to re do the Rhine Cruise we did a few years ago - it was perfect.

Bellagio on Lake Como, we visited Lake Lugano this summer and spent some time over at Lake Como and a trip over to Bellagio, and I felt a huge pull to go back just me and DH, its haunting me.

If you could visit anywhere in the world (and you are allowed to fantasise about getting there in a blink of an eye), where would you go to and why?

I would like to go to Rome - but not in the heat of the summer. I would love to drink in the history, artwork and golden architecture, cast a coin in the Trevi fountain when all the tourist (except me!) have gone home, get neck ache looking at the Sistine chapel ceiling and dawdle across St Peter's square eating gelato ...
