Trip to Montecarlo and Collodi




Looks like there is good weather in all Europe at the moment, and we have been getting our share - so we have had a few trips these last few days.  Wednesday found us back in Pinocchio country - a visit to the walled town of Montecarlo - known for its wines, not casinos, and a placid walk near Collodi (Pinocchiotown) which was filled with spring flowers.

It wasn't all flora - the fauna included these swarming ants - with flying ants also visible
