Heute sind wir nach dem Frühstück zuerst ins Kloster Neustift gefahren und haben danach Brixen angesehen. Beides war sehr schön und es gab jeweils eine sehenswerte Kirche mit einem Kreuzgang. In Brixen habe ich dann auch noch einen Speckteller mit Käse gegessen.... read more

14. Travel Blog Wednesday 10th September to Monday 15th September 2014. Italy - Vipiteno Wednesday 10th September 2014. Up and off to Vipiteno – Campsite Gilfenklamm – with views all round of the mountains. Called into the tourist office just on the next corner to get some information. We purchased a 3 day ‘Tour Card’ @ €25 each. This allows us to travel on all buses, trains, public cable cars, public museum entry over 3 consecutive days after validation. We had purchased one of these ‘Tour Cards’ in Chiusa in 2012 when we stayed there for 12 nights and visited all around The Dolomites.

Dolomites Trek, Northern Italy: 27 June – 6 July 2014 Robbo arranged our travel / transfer arrangements from Chamonix, France (where we ended the Tour Mont Blanc hike) to Italy via Verona on route to the Dolomites region (no fewer than 12 connections required in one day – buses, trains). We arrived safe and sound and enjoyed an amazing evening in beautiful Verona, it was magic full of music, opera, theatre and cafes and bars. This trip was unique in that we stayed in three (3) locations for 2 nights which meant we could day hikes or out/back / circuit trips rather than point-to-point. TO NOTE: This trip we did not arrange baggage transfers so we carried all our gear!!!!. The scenery was very beautiful with the Dolomites declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in August ... read more

We had left our caravan last summer in Augsburg, Bavaria, so we had a long drive down there, broken up by visiting friends. We arrived at Augsburg about 12.30 and the site was closed for dinner. However, we found our caravan which seemed dirty but OK and not, as we feared, full of gypsies! Next day we spent some time cleaning it and putting things away so we were then soon off for Italy. The sat nav decided not to take us the straightforward motorway route via Munich but through the hills around Oberammergau, past Innsbruck and into the Dolomites. We had been used to the cold and rain of Germany and even Austria but as we drove into Italy the skies cleared and the sun shone. We had decided that a campsite near Trento on ... read more
