Leaving Italy Behind Prematurely

The next morning, we left quite early, as we didn't know how long it would take us to leave Italy. We were mentally preparing for the worst, as last night has brought a lot of damage to the Lombardei already, and we expected lots of people to "flee" the region. It was a shitty feeling driving the first few hours, as the sun was shining and kinda mocked us with its warmth. The only thing that made it better was (and I'm wholeheartedly sorry to say that) hearing bad news from where we have wanted to go. Milan announced the closure of all parks for safety reasons (which would have made it impossible to visit Monza), the first bridges were washed away, and more and more villagers were told to evacuate. Obviously, that is absolutely horrible for the people, but it soothed our souls, showing us that it was the right decision to leave. When the rain began to fall eventually, it felt even better.
We drove on and on and encountered a huge stop-and-go before the Austrian border. Once we left that behind, it was smooth sailing, though. We made our first real stop in Kufstein, just one hour away from Munich. We walked around the castle and into the forest there, and I nearly cried when I saw the huge meadow in front. It felt like forever in which I haven't seen so much green around me. I wouldn't consider myself a nature girl, but apparently, I missed being in nature a lot the past couple days. And yes, at home, I'm always surrounded by nature when walking Aluna, so just seeing old brown buildings without any green countering was quite nerve-wrecking for me.
After an extensive walk along the forest, we jumped back in the car to drive the last hour to our last-minute booked flat. It was in a smart living apartment complex which was really cool and modern. Would definetly recommend it, although the area it was in wasn't really nice. It was situated in the industrial part of Munich - no problem with that, but the many strip clubs around did give off an eerie vibe. Still very good for one night, though.Okumaya devam et
