Dolomites Day 3

With the day starting off with pouring rain, we decided against a repeat of Day 1. We opted for a 11km trail with 500m climb to a waterfall. We only drive 15 minutes from home, and it felt like there was hikes wherever you went.

This was still no baby hike, and as I was semi training for the Camino, I packed all our gear into my hiking pack. The quads really felt the brunt of this, but the views were worth it a hundred times over.

The trail followed a river up to the waterfall, which you could climb behind, giving spectacular views. We sat up there for a long time, just soaking it all in. With 2 months left before I leave Europe, I was really trying to capture as many mental images as I could.

We spent the late afternoon in town, enjoying a view beers in the beautiful town centre. As Jack had guessed the furthest away for last night’s bill, we also got to enjoy him sampling the local grappa.

Last dinner! We went to a fancy supermarket (Lara’s dream situation) and picked up pasta and wine for dinner. Even going to a fancy place, 5 euro bottles just seems incredible. Dinner was lovely, and we all promised to come back to the Dolomites. Stunning place.Read more
