Spring
is
beautiful
for Bologna and Tuscany/Italy, also for Iran by the way, and spring is great for nice tours in California and Baja California/Mexico when the cacti have flowers. But we were in Bolivia and we had a relaxing and succesful trip in Portugal. More on that later... |

comfortable

| May
|
In
Germany and Japan May
is good for
for Morocco, Turkey, Iran and other
