    Verona to Bergamo

    I går, Italien ⋅ 🌧 73 °F

    Morning coffee in Verano ~ last chance to enjoy our favorite place so far 🥰
    Sirmione is a lovely resort town on Lake Garda. We found free parking and were so proud of ourselves until we realized just how far we were from the sites we wanted to see 😅
    Here stands Rocco Scaligero, a medieval castle overlooking the lake. On the peninsula are many shops and restaurants, gelato ~ my favorite flavor so far ~ Frutti di bosco 😋, tons of people, and what they call Jamaica Beach. We haven’t been to Jamaica but we are pretty sure it’s a misnomer…
    The weather went from sunny to cloudy with thunder and a few raindrops, back to sunny. Another beautiful place in Italy!
    On to Bergamo where we are staying tonight. Our home for the night is the fifth floor of a 600 year old building attached to a landmark, Torre del Gombito. It’s in the heart of the city center of upper Bergamo. It’s amazingly old and beautiful. We saw the sites including Piazza Vecchia, Palazzo Della Ragione, Bassilica di Santa Maria, Cappella Colleoni, and the Venetian walls built in 1561 and which extend over 6 kilometers. They were really cool and it was fun to walk on top of them! It was starting to cloud up when we arrived, it rained for about an hour, and the sun came out for a beautiful evening. You can see how quickly the skies changed in the two photos of Piazza Vecchia taken just over an hour apart!

    9. juni, Italien ⋅ 🌧 64 °F

    Back down the mountain pass. The second photo shows the highway we were heading towards; explains the tolls on the autobahn ~ it went on for miles like this!
    First sight of Lake Garda was spectacular. We made a few stops as we meandered along the lake highway.
    First stop was Malcesine. We had coffee and walked around ~ super cool old town featuring Castello Scaligero.
    Next stop Garda town. Strolled along the waterfront promenade. Much more of a beach town than Malcesine.
    Lazise was a nice combo of the first two towns with its cobblestone streets and waterfront walk. Lazise was the first free commune of Italy and is completely surrounded by a fortified wall dating back to the early Middle Ages.

    Off to Verano. We had to park a bit of a walk from our flat ~ more rolling down cobblestone streets. Our first sight was Piazza del Erbe - spectacular. We wandered the streets for a few hours ~ found the coolest candy store ever, Piazza del Bra, and the Verona Arena where they held the closing ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics.
    Ate dinner on the Piazza del Erbe ~ first Italian fish ‘n chips ~ so yummy and it didn’t even need tartar sauce. (Fortunately I googled whether that was ok in Italy…it is not 😳)
    The main objective of the evening was to see the sunset from Castel San Pietro. Unfortunately it was too cloudy to see the sun actually set but it was still spectacular. We waited patiently for the lights of Verona to come on before climbing back down the 249 stairs back down. Worth the wait!    Læs mere

    Seceda & Alpe di Siusi

    8. juni, Italien ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F

    Early morning to hit the Dolomites.
    Took the bus into Ortisei and waited for the time of our scheduled departure on Seceda Cable Car. I was so excited I felt like a little kid; Lincoln was willing to go…heights are not his favorite but he faces his fears head on like a champ! The trip was two trips with a smaller car first and then a larger car that climbed the face of a cliff.
    It was so amazingly beautiful that I don’t know how many times I said “Look at how beautiful that is!” God did so good here in Italy! 🏔️💙
    We hiked around the area for several hours and decided to hike down to the smaller cable car at the recommendation of our concierge. It was amazing and worth it for the views, but it was tough! My body will never be the same ~ especially my feet! Linc also has Phillips’ feet ~ poor guy 🙁 We also watched tandem hang gliders ~ next time!
    Once back in Ortisei, we walked across town to go up the mountains the other direction to Alpe di Siusi ~ the largest high-elevation Alpine meadow in Europe. Another cable car dropped us at the top where we weren’t sure how much energy we had left but called on the reserves and took it all in. More spectacular view with the clouds and sun changing the scenery in exquisite fashion. We saw horses and cows and even a mountain shed (Luke!). We rode back down to town and came back to our room to change our clothes and shoes before heading back into town for dinner. We walked around a bit (a very little bit!) and are back in our room for hopefully an early night.
    Tomorrow we leave for Lake Garda and Verona. Looking forward to resting our feet while driving our little Ford Puma, Pamela.    Læs mere

    Venice to Ortisei

    7. juni, Italien ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F

    Left Venice this morning, starting with a long walk to the bus station with suitcases in tow ~ a little tough with all the bridges and steps over the canals but we made it. Rode the bus to the airport and got to pay a “we’ve never ridden a bus in Italy” tax in the form of a fine for not validating our tickets as we got on the bus…we had met some nice people from Ireland and were a bit distracted as we climbed aboard the bus…tough start to the day.
    Got our rental car and then we were off to the autostrada. Lincoln did a great job driving but we started out a little rough; two vastly different speed limit signs on the road and toll booths very different from home required some help from chat gpt.
    Stopped in Bassano del Grappa, enjoying the quaint little town, having a coffee and a yummy pastry. Next stop was Trento, another cute little town on the way to Ortisei.
    The drive was narrow and windy 〰️ (not windy 💨) and a bit sketchy at times with oncoming traffic not staying in their lane and even an older man going the wrong way in a roundabout ~ thankfully we were going slow enough to let him pass and he seemed happy as can be 🫣
    Arrived a Hotel Digon in Ortisei ~ lovely room with a view that takes your breath away. Drove into town and walked around ~ beautiful little mountain town. Tomorrow we take to the mountains!    Læs mere

    Venice

    6. juni, Italien ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F

    Slept well in our little Italian flat ~ getting the authentic feel of life in Venice.
    Lincoln started the day with an apple from the open market; the vendor was kind with our effort at Italian. Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Bell Tower look a bit different in the morning light. Enjoyed the most delicious croissant filled with Nutella that we have ever tasted - hoping to get one tomorrow again before we leave town (just found out they are closed on Sunday 🙁). Also had our first Italian americano - now we’re ready for the day! ☕️
    We were told to “get lost in Venice” so we wandered the streets, taking in the sights and sounds and smells. Visited St. Mark’s Basilica - amazing architecture, both inside and out.
    Decided we had time to hop over to Murano to check out the glass-blowing - fascinating to watch. Also had my first gelato ~ so yummy 😋 We really loved the quiet neighborhoods there.
    On our return to Venice we enjoyed some chiccheti at a little place around the corner - here’s a photo of what was left when we remembered to take a pic…
    Another beautiful evening in Venice.    Læs mere

    Vancouver to Venice

    5. juni, Italien ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F

    Lynden to Vancouver International with our trusty driver/navigator. Wandered the airport, by streams filled with sea anemones and starfish and trees right there in the middle - Canadians do a lot of things well! Traveling Priority perks: skip the TSA line, Maple Leaf lounge for snacks and drinks, lots of legroom, a steady stream of food and drinks, a seat that lays all the way down - no more coach for us!
    Quick stop in Zurich with a second flight to Venice. Maybe the most beautiful scenery l've ever seen on a flight ~ I looked out the window the whole time. Wow! Note to self: must go to Switzerland.
    Landed in Venice and hopped on a vaporetto. Short walk to our flat. And off to see the sights. Very busy Friday evening; a bit overwhelming to our sleep-deprived selves.
    Lincoln was looking for some protein for dinner ~ found it. Look at the size of that steak! I enjoyed a delicious pizza.
    Wandered over to Cannaregio where we found a park with swings and wider streets. Bellissimo 🤩
    The day(s) felt like 12 days as we dragged ourselves up the stairs to our flat. Exhausted and looking forward to a good night's sleep. Buenanotte 😴    Læs mere
