Nicola and her husband were like my second parents! When I arrived, they helped me take in my things and offered me some tea, which calmed me down after a long day of driving. We chatted for a couple of hours about what there is to do in the area. I ended up adding to my original itinerary with their suggestions, which were all great.
They have a beautiful property with adorable donkeys. Nicola made me a delicious spread for breakfast and then we walked around to greet all of the animal friends.
When I left, Nicola waited for me to drive away and waved as I left. It was my home away from home. I've truly never experienced so much kindness by strangers. They are wonderful people and I will definitely return on future visits! As a solo traveler, I felt right at home.
