    The good old campsite feeling

    10 augusti 2020, österrike ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Yesterday we took the jump into the Alps.
    Although it was not a jump, more a slide.
    I feared it would be more like the Spanish Pyrenees, but it was almost flat sliding between the mountains.
    So in this case... a man suffers the most by suffering that he fears...
    But... we are only on 1/3 still some road to come.
    As real dare devils we are thinking about getting the Felbertaurn route. But.. I think we will keep on the main road to Salzburg tomorrow.
    We might get a fine from the Austrians, as we drove into the country on the motorway without paying the road tax. We passed the first opportunity and turned around, back into Italy, and go back again, but now stop at the border to buy the sticker.
    As we moved on, we saw the cameras just before the place we turned.
    But hey.. We will see.
    We run of the first campsite we visited at this Ossiacher See, as it was a chaos and very, very busy.
    But it seems that it was busy everywhere.
    As the place we are now, resembles the "I don't want to go there places" in Spain or even Italy. Maybe they are even worse.
    As there are many Dutch and German guests.
    Although, this morning we had refreshing swim in the lake, a short walk along the hillside and a lunch in Ostriach.
    Now... we are just lazy again.
    Paid the highest bill ever for two nights.. and tomorrow we are off to Salzburg.
    Hope the road won't have to much fun in making us to climb.
    However a little bit I won't mind.

    Maybe have a swim later tonight, otherwise for sure tomorrow morning.
    For now..
    Hopefully we sent the next message from Salzburg.
    Mozart... here we come.    Läs mer

    Watch your tongue ...

    8 augusti 2020, Italien ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    As Venice cost me my shoes, we took the ferry line 1 this morning up to the last stop before Lido.
    We marched, enjoyed, and wanted to buy loads of stuff, for which we wanted to return, but never found the shop again.
    What can we say.
    Again we walked around for more than 12 hours, took 23 km and a break now and then.
    Still very confused about the status of this place.
    I keep it to an open air museum. Were you should watch your tongue... because there are more people around who understand what you are saying as you ever thought!
    Came "home" late and tired. Tomorrow..

    What is it?

    7 augusti 2020, Italien ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Yes. We made it to Venice.
    But we had a little stop at Padua.
    I had to. As the real Lieske had taught me an riddle, if I had lost something. And that had everything to do with a strange guy in Padua.
    So we payed him a visit. And as it looks, also the town of Padua is quite nice.
    ..
    We arrived at noon in the suburbs of Venice, were we found another campsite. Booked for three nights, as we thought could use two days for exploring the city.
    But is it a city?
    ..
    We were able to take the bus already in the early afternoon to have a sniff.
    It became more than that, but the real deal was today.
    Strolled around again for more than 12 hours..again, and did a small 20km .
    Saw a lot.
    And as we navigated through the city yesterday, today we had the city play us.
    Just walked around in this maze of small streets who ends in the water.
    But don't you dare to take of your shoes and dip your feet into the salty water... the local police will order you not to. Sadly.
    We had a lunch ..a diner.. a sit in and a "take a look at others".
    And we decided that we do not know what this city is.
    Is it a city or a "open air museum"?
    Is it a city or a themepark? A collection of architectural art droped into the sea.
    A reserve?
    We miss .. at least I miss, the humm of a living city. The sound of life,
    Maybe because there are no cars?
    Or maybe because the real Venetian citizens are hard to find?
    Although it is a city you must visit, and we will just not see it all in two days, -we will not even come close,-
    it does not feel as a city.
    And that's a pity.
    So ...What is it ..
    Maybe we will discover it tomorrow.
    Our last day in Venice, and probably one of the last days in Italy.    Läs mer

    Flying Dutchman

    5 augusti 2020, Italien ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    We traveled as planned.
    Lieske took the campsite hill as a pro. And we made a nice tour through the "mountains" .
    The road even took us into the clouds.
    Arrived at Bologna.
    Nice city. With nice galleries to walk under.
    Visited the "two towers" and Piazza Maggiore.
    As we are a bit city tired, and still have a few to go, we did not stay longer than just this, and a coffee break.
    We took of in to the direction of Padua, as I heart a stupid sound from the rear.
    As soon as the traffic situation allowed, I stopped. An to my amazing I noticed that, again the 5 wheel bolts had come loose. This time, I noticed in time.
    ..
    We looked for a nice spot to stay, and found a farmers campsite in Monselice.
    Nice place, very friendly people, and had a slow afternoon.
    As now the evening sets in. Also the mosquitos. Ahh..we missed them so ..
    Tomorrow, a quick view at Padua, and than, of to Venice.
    The last city on our Italian bucket list.    Läs mer

    Lazy....again.

    4 augusti 2020, Italien ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    We left Florence. And to be honest. Driving up to Bologna or even Padua or imagine Venice...
    I am just not ready for it..;)
    So we found a lovely campsite in the hills between Florence and Bologna.
    Thinking about a quick visit to Bologna tomorrow morning and drive till almost Padua/Venice.
    We need to retrieve one day. As we want to visit the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart and it is only open in the weekend.
    So coming weekend we will be in Venice, and have one week to complete the journey through Austria and part of Germany.
    We planned two days for Venice.
    On paper our plans look ok.
    So. For now. Enjoying the silence and the fresh mountain air.
    Have a diner tonight and than....
    Sleep well!
    Although.. I hope so. Because the hill we have to climb out of this campsite is very steep. So maybe...
    We have to stay. Forever..    Läs mer

    Firenze in un giorno.

    3 augusti 2020, Italien ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    As we had spoiled a day by just sleeping, we had to make up.
    So. 5.30 it's decided. Before it gets too hot, and we need to sleep again.. ;)
    Got out and tried to get bus tickets at the reception. Although it a 24/7 receprion, this was not applied to the purchase of bus tickets.
    A bit disappointed, we took of to the bus stop. We will buy at the driver.
    And, just as probably everywhere, it was not possible to buy at the driver, due to Covid.
    So our day started with a 'illegal busride'
    Got out some were in Florence, and walked to the Piazza del Duomo to see the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore. The landmark of Florence.
    We could have visited the bell tower, the church, the Baptisterium and a lot of musea.
    But we did not. We just walked around the city, had coffee, walked some more and had some more coffee.
    Visited Ponte Vecchio and climbed up to Piazalle Michelangelo.
    Had a nap in a quiet park, and a lunch.
    We walked for almost 12 hours. Close to 20km and at least, I was getting tired.
    It's a great city, it's an expensive city, it a a luxurious city. And they know it.
    If you intend to visit the musea, and go shopping with your unlimited credit card, you can easily fill a week.
    Luckily we went early, as the day was progressing it became very busy. Maybe even a bit too busy.
    So we decided had seen enough.
    Thanks, birthplace of the Renaissance.
    We enjoyed our stay.    Läs mer

    It was not meant to be.

    2 augusti 2020, Italien ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    We left Pisa, and my brother tipped me to go and visit Lucca.
    So. What would I tell him if I did not go?
    So we had to. It was just a small diversion from our route to Florence, and nothing to do anyway.
    And indeed. It was a charming city.
    We had a short but lovely morning in this cosy city.
    But our main aim was Florence.
    As we were spoiled by the "human"camping in Rome, we decided to spoil us again..
    Especially after the hot baking sun and blood thirsty mosquitoes in Pisa.
    Airconditined, a fridge,toilet an bathroom.
    And of course a good bed.
    As I just closed my eye's it was 19.30.
    Time flies when you fall asleep..

    Discovering the well known

    1 augusti 2020, Italien ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    After a restless night, the alarm went of at seven. Had a boiled egg and warm Nutella for breakfast...if you might want to know.
    We set of for the tower visit at 08.00 and arrived well in time. First in line. That's to my liking.
    Got instructions and a 1mtr buzzer.. and of we go.
    I have to admit.. this was a good workout.
    The experience of walking this leaning tower was special. The view quite nice.
    There was not much time. As we were hunted down again for the next load of climbers.
    After this, we visited the basilica, and noticed that we did not buy tickets for the Baptisterium. So. Got my phone and credit card to correct this.
    After a nice rest on the first floor of the Baptisterium, our phones fully charged, we went off into the city.
    Nice place. Narrow streets and beautifully buildings.
    Hunger kicked in, so a panini was ordered.
    They did their best to make us a vegetarian one. And with success.
    Walked around until we found a nice shady park, in which I laid my head down again to have a rest.
    After this it was time for an ice cream.
    Decided that this was Pisa. And headed back to the campsite.
    Gonna take a shower and an easy meal.
    Bought on our way home a mosquito net to cover the site windows, so we can leave them safely open this night.
    Hopefully this will work.
    Tomorrow. We will aim for Florence.
    I do need to check the gearboxoil level. But I can't get underneath. Maybe.. one day..

    Pisa with bad pizza

    31 juli 2020, Italien ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    We arrived at a quite expensive campsite just outside Pisa, to be exact, just a click from Piazza dei Miracoli.
    The place were all the tourist go.
    So we go too.
    Had time enough to go and see for a first visit.
    Decided to have a pizza in one of the side streets, but that was not the real deal.t
    Bought tickets for the first admittance at 09.00.
    Did some needed homework, and..
    Up to bed!
    But this was easier said than done.
    Mosquitos, heat and mosquitos again...
    So it was a rough night.
    ..
    We survived! With some less blood and extra itch.
