As I may have said before, I have a friend who visited us in Hamburg. He came with a mission to sample German Sausages. It made him very easy to entertain always having a supplemental aim to the daily outing. Plus a feeling of accomplishment afterwards.
I think Lord Byron had the same strategy. His was to visit ponds or small lakes. There's one in Granchester, just outside Cambridge, and now this one outside of Spoleto, called Fonti del Clitumno. Of course he was famous so his visits were chronicled. My friend never got a single sausage named after him. but then Byron was a Romantic and died for his cause. It's a high price to pay. I am sure there are other Byron pools, likely in Greece and the Balkans that I haven't got to yet. Maybe I will make that my mission.
