The sabbatical year has already passed, and we are spending the last weeks in Cortina d'Ampezzo, where we are visiting our family. Before this, we stayed two weeks in Belluno with...

Today was a big shopping day at Adamello (shopping center). A tradition that has always been followed by Dad. However, traditions can be reconsidered 😈. You can always find olive...

And the day changed... More relaxed, less racket and shouting, more vacation. In the morning at the market. Nice path along the lake. Even better finally having coffee in hand/in...

Tag 1 in Italy. After a rough night, the day begins tiredly on the newly furnished balcony. For the first time, we have our dishes, and joy reigns. The stylish retro kettle should...

From the luggage, one could think that. Departure was set for around 9 AM by Dad, and what do the women make of it: 11:10 AM 🥴. Chaos, arguments, shouting, and no progress. Thus,...

Hello everyone, warm greetings from my last stop in Italy, Trieste. After settling into the hostel, I took a stroll through the city and immediately hiked up to a...

Sicily is best visited in spring, as temperatures and tourism are rather moderate and the whole country smells of orange and lemon blossoms.

We were in the nature reserve next door again today – but more on that later… After our trip to Santo Porto Stefano yesterday

The colors and forms of the Tarot Garden still resonated within us as we moved on this morning – into the soft hilly landscape of Maremma, where steaming hot water rises

The anticipated thunderstorm arrived very late but was all the more intense. The wind nearly blew my tent away. And the thunder followed immediately after the lightning.

I just had to spend the night here

Heavy rain was forecast for the next day. Thus, on the third day, there was an unintentional enforced pause. I found a nice place to stay for two nights in the small vill

It actually takes quite a while to reach Cuneo by public transport. First, the journey starts with a regional train to Lake Constance. There, I had a lunch break with a v

We're already into the third day here, letting life come to us. The campsite is great, the weather even better, and we're doing well. At 66 years old, life begins... Hello...

For my very first trip to Venice, I got up really early. By nine I was on the island and quickly made my way to St. Mark's Square. Since it was early and clearly...

Well-known are Venice, Rome, Florence, Milan, all those wonderful Italian metropolises. Bari, Brindisi, or even Lecce are not necessarily the places that come to mind when one...

Nothing is quite as typical as Italian washing culture. While Italians love washing their bed linens, the French are at the forefront when it comes to underwear, and...

In just two weeks, it will begin. My train tour in Italy starts then. The first stop is in Tuscany. The excitement is immense.

Ferry to Sirmione

All markets are the same. If anyone knows that, it's me. I visited my seventh or eighth weekly market here in Italy today. It's hard to believe, but every village that ta

We have been in Siena for three days – in a bus parking lot, surrounded by three-lane main roads, where the 24-hour Le Mans race seems to take place day and night. At lea

We arrived in Saturnia yesterday to visit the hot springs. Since we arrived late, I wanted to save that for the next day. I had m

Niki de Saint Phalle – does this name mean anything to you? It certainly meant nothing to us until today. But after visiting the artist's Tarot garden, I will never forge

Yesterday was Sunday, our day of rest. We used it to thoroughly clean the motorhome, do laundry, and refill our water supplies. Today, we actually planned to stay longer

Sun, sun, sun, and more sun. Suddenly, you find great joy in a little cloud in the sky, even if it's just for a brief moment. When we set out for Sardinia, it was June 18....

Saying goodbye to the Barolo Valley isn't easy. It's just so beautiful here, and the weather plays its part too. But there's no time to waste; the journey continues. Our next...

… one of my favorite thoughts (… my 100 grandchildren playing cricket on the lawn, when I think of it, I can hardly wait...) But we first need to get there. Wednesday...
