The 54-year-old actor has taken a step back to enjoy a much-needed holiday as he heads out to Italy, and he has released a number of photos from his trip so far to keep fans back home updated on his adventures.
Mark posted a gallery of gorgeous images along with the caption, “Bologna/Parma picture dump. Amazing people, cuisine, and locations. Now without a doubt, Bologna is my favourite Italian city.
Naturally, it didn’t take long for the soap icon to get a barrage of good wishes in the comments section. Alison wrote: “Have a fab time!” while Victoria added: “Lovely place, I absolutely LOVE Italy!” Added Donna, “How great! Your images are wonderful, and Angie said, “These are stunning photos!”
