Fun Date Day

We had a fun date day together. I bought it as a present to say thank you for looking after me while I was in the hospital for a week and we were able to share in finding new places and try new things. I think they needed to stress wear comfortable shoes we got lost on our hike and had to walk farther then intended and didnt have proper footwear on but other than that very enjoyable.

We're so glad you had a lovely day of exploring! Comfortable shoes are definitely a must - great suggestion for future travellers! :) Thank you for your review!

Lovely easy-going trip. It is a bit of driving but each stop was fun in its own way. Loved the little hike in the forest area and the bakeries. We enjoyed the recommended shops. We could have stayed longer exploring the towns.

Wonderful day Exploring

Even though it was a mystery trip it turned we had been to some of the places but found new things to see and learn.

We always love to hear this when travellers have a fabulous day exploring even if they come across places they've been to before. The surprise is the best part, and spending time with loved ones (even at familiar spots) is always a great way to spend a day. :) Thank you for your review!
