Last Day in Castelrotto

With the dumping rain last night, we were considering cutting our mountain time down by one night and heading to Soave for a night, but a rejected email for lodging seemed an answer from God. Then we woke to beautiful sunshine/high clouds and snow covered mountains. Church bells were ringing and a farmer’s market was setting up in the town square as we did an early morning walk to the high point of the town. Changed our minds!
Made it to the post office to ship some of our stuff home. That was a bit of a fiasco, but got it done! We pointed the Fiat up the mountain and prayed that the plows had done their job:) We spent the day driving up and down numerous glorious mountain passes, lunch in a Refugio, a small fox inches from our car, horses blocking the road, churches backed by stunning cliffs, an absolutely perfect day. Made it back to our hotel and heard music playing-in the main square three horns were being played. We then walked up a hill to a wooden restaurant to have a glass of wine while the sun warmed us outside despite the chill wind.
We are having dinner at the same restaurant tonight as the last two-it’s so good! Off to Venice for our last three nights of the trip tomorrow.Read more
