      Lago di Como

      June 20, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      Auf geht’s zum Lago Di Como. Dieser liegt in der Lombardei und die Berge umschließen ihn sehr schön. Mit dem Öffi bin ich vom Hotel in das Zentrum gefahren. Sozusagen eine Hopp on, Hopp off Tour für kleines Geld 💰. Die Stadt ist sehr schön und lädt zum Schlendern und Shoppen ein. Leider sind meine Koffer 🧳 am Motorrad 🏍️ voll.
      Natürlich habe ich auch vorzüglich beim Italiener gegessen. Eine leckere Lasagne 😋.
      Nachdem ich heute morgen im Piemont bei zwei guten Freunden vorbeikommen bin, habe ich natürlich das passende Getränk 🥤 gewählt. Vorbeigefahren bin ich bei Campari und Aperol.

      Was für eine unglaublich schöne Gegend 🤩! Ich würde hier jeden Tag versumpfen. So leckeres Essen und eine unendliche Auswahl an Wein 🍷…auch Weißwein 😍
      Ein Betriebsausflug hierher wäre denkbar 🤔

      Ausflug ins Piemont

      March 19, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      Gestern Abend, in der kleinen aber feinen Tapas Bar neben unserem schönen Campingplatz Aqua Dolce in Levanto wurde der Wetterbericht studiert und die weitere Fahrt geplant. Es sollte erst Mal ins Piemont gehen, da waren wir vor ein paar Jahren schon mal, damals noch mit dem PKW und sind dort viel geradelt, also da sollte es wieder hingehen.

      Wir fanden auch zwei Campingplätze, die geöffnet sein sollten und so machten wir uns auf die Reise. Gegen 14 Uhr waren wir am ersten Platz, leider kein Mensch weit und breit, also weiter. In Asti war dann zwar jemand da am CP, aber der nette Betreiber meinte gleich, leider machen wir erst am 9. April auf. Wastun? Also geschaut und einen weiteren Platz in Alba gefunden. Ein Anrufversuch scheiterte, also hinfahren. Wäre auch ein schöner Platz gewesen, aber auch hier war zwar jemand da, aber auch dieser Platz öffnet auch erst im April.

      Ja nun. Was tun. Wieder die meinwomo App befragt und es gibt ja auch Stellplätze. In Barbaresco gibt es einen Stellplatz oberhalb des Dorfes. Liegt zwar an der Straße, aber nachts soll es ruhig sein. Also gings dahin. Es war gerade noch ein Platz frei, denn von den 7 Plätzen waren 4 von PKWs zugeparkt, ist auch nur als Parkplatz für 12 Stunden lt. Schild zu benutzen.

      Schnell eingeparkt und dann machten wir uns auf den Weg ins Dorf, Hunger hatten wir ja schon. In einer kleinen Bar gabs Toast und einen herrlichen Nebbiolo, alles gut. Jetzt schau mer mal, was die Nacht so bringt...

    • Day 5

      Barberesco

      September 16, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 75 °F

      Tonight I am tired and it will be short. It was a travel day today and it was a rainy day. We left the seaside for some agriturismo in the Piedmont area of Italy. Ron's favorite wine in all of Italy. We had three trains to catch today. For some reason, Linda still needs 2 hours and 5 expresso to wake up for the day and we have deprived her of that. So much so that she thought it would be a great idea to hop off the train in Vernazza, one stop past our starting point to catch the next one. Thanks to Jane she pulled her back in before the train took off again. Ron didn't even ask her to get him a coffee this time!! We laughed so hard on that one. I guess a leash is needed for Linda. Bernie and Miriam were feeling a little woozy on the fast train. We thought it would be a good idea to test a TikTok theory I saw. They thought it would be a good idea to sniff alcohol to see if the nauseous feeling would go away. We only had a hand sanitizer wipe of 70 % to sniff. Verdict- FAIL! The picture says it all. We all arrived at Agriturismo Rivella Silva thanks to our private driver Giorgio. The first stop in Asti before continuing was a gelato stop. We had to feed Nicole something or she was just going to fade away. Hey, I started the day with Cherry Crunch gelato, it's like yogurt with fruit and that's my story I am sticking to it. After arriving at our accommodations, which is beautiful even in the rain. We took pictures of the grape fields and basked in its beauty. We had a winery tour and tasting session. Enrico, the son of the winery owner shared his wealth of knowledge with us about the region, family involvement, the winery old and new, grapes, wine-making, and taste-testing. Boy did we enjoy a nice Barbaresco, thanks to Ron? He is in heaven today, a kid in a candy shop! Thanks, Ron for letting us share your dream portion of the trip. Talk about dreams, Nicole is dreaming of food. Of course, while the rest of us live like we are intermittent fasting, she can't afford to lose weight like the rest of us. We have to feed this girl! We walked into Barbaresco to Koki Wine Bar for a light dinner. Can you imagine we went to a wine bar and didn't order any wine? To be honest we all had enough this evening and want to have an early night. We have a big day tomorrow having a homecooked meal and a tour of the area.Read more

    • Day 6

      Barolo

      September 17, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 75 °F

      Today we had a private driver, Giorgio, take us to Barolo for wine tasting. Our day started with a wonderful breakfast at our Agriturismo. We enjoyed fresh bread, including the best Foccacia I have ever tasted. We were well treated to fruit, yogurt, juice, and omelets, all locally sourced. We left early and walked around La Morra to enjoy the spectacular views of the grapevines on the hills in a 360 view. You could never capture the beauty in a photo that you see with your own eyes. We visited 2 castles, one of which had an interactive museum about the history of wine-making throughout time starting with honey(Mead). The other castle belonged to the first Prime Minister of Italy. It was okay but it was not the highlight of the day. Just before that castle, we had the most disappointing meal of our life. Only joking it was the opposite. We went to La Cantinetta in Barolo. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch that included a raw sausage/cream cheese appetizer, veal with tuna cream sauce. The next course was our pasta dish which was light and tasty but the next dish was my favorite mushroom risotto, ending with a light-tasting delicious panna cotta with raspberries. Mama Mia. Our waiter was the owner and took great care of us with his generosity and humor. The meal itself was an experience of all our senses. We just didn't want it to end but our bellies were full. The next wine tour brought us to Marchesi di Barolo winery. Compared to yesterday's wine tour this was more corporate than local. The wooded barrels were twice the size and produced 1 million liters per year. At this point, we were all fading. We returned to Rivella Silva with some wine and groceries to enjoy by the pool. The weather was not the greatest today but the rain held off. We had no blips in our day today and it was enjoyed by all thanks to Giorgio riding us around. Tomorrow we head to Milan for the night.Read more
