Another long weekend (in the south of Germany, lucky us). A very scenic drive almost from home all the way south. Hubby on his motorbike, Charlie and I in the Mini.
Crossing the Alps. Winding roads. Later vineyards. Wine. The temperature is getting hotter. Delicious food. 300 sunny days a year.
Benvenuto, we arrived in Bella Italia!
Italy is amore! Italy evokes feelings of love and romance, associated with its beautiful landscapes, rich history, delicious food, and passionate culture.
Now we discovered a for us new part of Italy and I couldn’t say it better than Franz Kafka: He described South Tyrol as “the most beautiful land” he had ever seen. ❤️
South Tyrol is a wonderful province filled with excitement and adventure. It is the home of the incredible Italian Alps and the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cruising along the Strada del vino. Wine tasting included, of course.
If there is a Valhalla for foodies it may be in South Tyrol. Thanks to the region saddling northern and southern Europe, South Tyrol offers a rare, all-embracing culinary landscape. German, Tyrolean, Italian and Ladin cultures all have a place at the table.
South Tyrol has it all. You simply can’t beat terraced vineyards backed by a view of the snowcapped Dolomites in the distance. Stunning!
We are huge fans of Europe. Germany – Austria – Italy. 3 countries and not a single passport control at any of the borders. Crossing the alps in each of the countries. Each of them stunning.
We made it back home. The end of school holidays and the long weekend made it quite exhausting. Super proud of hubby on his bike crossing the alps ⛰️twice within a couple of days. Chapeau!
By the way, yesterday was the longest day of the year, that’s when the northern hemisphere is tilted closer to the sun than any other day of the year!
Happy summer!
