No Italy is not the same all over. The north and the south are totally different, at times it feels it is like 2 different countries. I am from the north originally (Varese) between Milan and Switzerland , our area is considered the lake district area because of the number of lakes we have just ot give you an idea have a look at http://www.thomsonlakes.co.uk/destinations...ake+maggiore+b# Lake Garda is always very popular, friends of mine from London have been going there for the last 10 years and never mentioned anything about strays etc. Sea holiday you could look at places around Venice like Lido di Jesolo, not sure what it is like now last time I went there I was 10 years old and I cannot stand Venice. Another option is the Italian riviera basically the Liguria are ,bordering the south of France you won't be very fram from Cannes etc. Places like San Remo etc are very popular my ex boss's father loved it there. My favourite would be the Tuscany coast, I just love this area and Florence is one of my all time favourite places. From Rome down the situation as far as animals is concerned is not good, lots of strays and total different mentality re animals. Given what you are looking for re your holiday avoid Eastern Europe: Bulgaria I know it well as we lived there for 18 months, strays everywhere. Dogs have really no value unless they are pure breeds. Romania for what I have seen and heard is same as Bulgaria. One of my English best friend is married to an Hungarian and she tells me things are not much better there. Turkey another friend from London has told me some horror stories about animal abuse and situation about strays. her parents have a home in Turkey and spend half of the year there

Cindy it has been a pleasure working with you, you are truly an amazing person and I will miss you loads, look after yourself and I hope you will be back working with us soon Thank you to Claire and Sandra for taking on their new roles and look forward to working with you
