Sue has taken dozens of cruises around the Mediterranean and never tires of heading off the beaten track in search of authentic experiences. She has kayaked along the Grand Canal in Venice, cycled round Barcelona, hiked up Vesuvius, watched the moon rise over the Acropolis from a rooftop in Athens and followed the trail of prehistoric settlers on Malta. She is a keen cook, so loves exploring markets around the Mediterranean, and wherever she cruises, heads ashore in a quest to find the perfect coffee shop.
