Bolzano
May 26 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Yesterday afternoon we arrived in Bolzano and walked around the old medieval town. We took the opportunity to do our laundry and have a nice dinner of South Tyrol cuisine which is Austrian and Italian fusion. Today we had a wonderful food tour where we ate and drank and then went to the Archaeological museum to learn about the story of Otzi a 5,000 year old mummified body that was found nearby and then visited a few churches and had more food. All in all this was our rest day. Tomorrow we go to Ortesie in the mountainsRead more

Bolsano to Ortesei
May 27 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
This morning we left bulls on now and traveled towards Ortesei where we will be staying for four nights and exploring the Dolomites. On our way today we stopped at a really cool Museum Castle called Messner Mountain Museum. The exhibit in the castle were dedicated to alpineism and things having to do with mountains and the power of mountains. We then travel to a cute little town called Chuisa, we walk through the town took a few pictures and had some beer and pizza. Then we made our way through Ponte Gardena and drove to the gondola cable car at Seceda. I was taking photos looking down the mountain without realizing when I turned around what a magnificent view of snow covered Mountains I would have.Read more

Monte Nuvolau and Lago di Braies
May 28 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Today we drove a lot and hiked a lot. The scenery has been amazing. We made a huge circle through the Dolomites and stopped for two hikes. We tried to get gas for the car but I don't have the pin for my credit card so I'm hoping the hotel will give me a cash advance or something so we don't get stuck.Read more

Ortesie/Alpe Di Suisse and Kastelruth
May 29 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Today we were going to take a drive to hike through the pastures of Alpe Di Suisse helpful gentlemen at the front desk told us to walk to a cable car down the street that would take us up to an area where we could hike through the pasture. We did about a four-hour hike and then came down to have a bite to eat and then hopped on a public bus to a town called Kastleruth which had a beautiful church and was set with a lovely backdrop of the Dolomites.Read more

May 30 Novacella, Bressanone, and Seis
May 30 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Today we have our second day of public transportation. It proved to be challenging but we had a fun day regardless. We took the bus to Abbazia di Novacella which is an abbey that has a winery. The Winery was closed but we were still able to sample the line at the pub in the old Castle. From there we took the bus back to Bressanone and walked through the town and saw a few churches. We chose the local bus to return to Ortesei where we had to change busses but the town where the change was required was blocked for a festival. We ended up in Seis and after a long wait we had to back track to Ponte Gardena/Waidbruck to catch another bus home. We proudly navigated this all on our own.Read more

Today we left Ortesei for Venice. We returned our rental car and dragged our luggage 15 minutes over bridges and down cobbled sidewalks to our hotel. Once settled we walked the city through the Jewish ghetto to our cooking class where we made 2 types of pasta and tiramisu for dessert. We walked back and had a drink at the nearby kosher restaurant.Read more

Last day in Venice
June 1 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Today we walked 45 min through the streets od Venice to meet up with a guide for a walking tour of St Mark's Square and all the sights. After the tour we had Venetian seafood tapas and got a vaporetto ticket so we could travel around the city by boat. We went to Murano island to see the creations and saw a glass blower
The sky started to turn black so we jumped back on our vaporetto and barely made it back to our Doc before the skies opened up. We waited for about 15 minutes and we're finally able to walk to our hotel. An hour later the sun came out and we were back on the vaporetto going down the Grand Canal. We picked a site for dinner walk back to the hotel and packed to get ready to leave.Read more
