Me and my travels: Bonnie Tyler, singer

Bonnie Tyler, singer.

My idea of paradise is ...
My 50ft Princess yacht, which is moored in Vilamoura, Portugal. I take it out down the coastline and anchor up in a cove near a restaurant called Everisto's, which is on the beach and serves totally fresh fish.

My next holiday will be ...
Skiing in Cervinia, Italy. I don't go down the black runs, I'm more into having fun on the blue runs and calling in at every bar on the way down. We've been going for about 20 years. We always stay in a tiny family-run hotel right on the piste.

I always bring back ...
Tapestries. I collect traditional Aubusson tapestries that you can hang on a wall. The last lot I bought were from an antiques fair in London.

My most memorable meal was in ...
San Remo, Italy. We had lobster to start and it came with the eyes lit up with little battery-powered lights, which almost put me off lobster for good!

When travelling I miss ...
Nothing! I'm in Portugal and it's a beautiful day. The sky is blue, not a cloud and I'm standing out in practically nothing. I live here about half the year and back in Wales for the other half.

I never travel without ...
Make-up! I've also got a tiny jewellery pouch with my father's watch and my mother's bracelet in it. I've got a picture of them in there too.

My favourite hotel is ...
The Doubletree Suites in New York. We love to be in the middle of everything in Times Square and the rooms are marvellous.

My first trip abroad was...
With my husband when we were courting - around 1971 and we went to Alicante. We went up into the mountains and rode donkeys. For me then it was all about the sun.
