Travelogues Italy

After the magnificent first two days of my tour, I wanted to take it easy in Valnontey. I had chosen a cozy day tour with a trail that was rated quite well. The only...

My tour was supposed to start right at the beginning of the Aosta Valley. The regional train from Milan dropped me off in the small village of Hone. Next to the ruins of a...

It has already been two years since my big tour through the Western Alps. And it took just as long for me to finally get a long enough break to go on a tour that does justice to...

Today is our last full day in Sardinia and we went on a hiking tour towards San Pantaleo with Noémi's new friend and her parents, crossing the mountains with an elevation gain...

The day started a bit bumpy today, actually we were supposed to go to Golfo di Orosei towards the south, but after seeing that it takes about 3 hours per trip, I changed my...

One thing a driver on Sardinia learns quickly: you have to drive at least 30 km/h faster than the road sign says, otherwise you will be pushed from behind by an impatient...

Today I got the kids out of bed a little earlier to drive to the west coast of Sardinia with them. It took 2 hours and led through the greener inland, where there are even real...

The day started again with a bit of breakfast, but we weren't very hungry after the big dinner yesterday and the dumplings were constantly bothered by wasps 🙈 Then we headed to...

In the northern part of Sardinia, the La Maddalena Archipelago is located in the azure Tyrrhenian Sea. We took the ferry from Palau to the island, which can be easily...

Waking up with a view directly to the sea is pretty nice 😍 Getting ready and packing the bag was quick, since we only had one and packed only one outfit each 😇 For breakfast,...

Since our hotel Rocce Sarde is very close by, we could not resist driving to the center of Costa Smeralda - Porto Cervo. This harbor is known for the yachts of the rich and...

Since I knew it was over 30 km today, I started walking at 5:10. But I never set an alarm on the tour. So normal biorhythm 😅. It was still a bit dark at the beginning, but it...

The morning started again with an Italian breakfast. The croissants were really delicious 🥐😋 And Fico wanted to take a ride on the fan carousel before the drive 😂🤦🏼‍♀️🎠...

After an unpleasant car rental handover (my new DKB credit card was not accepted!), today we headed to the Nuraghes of Arzachena. There are about 7000 of these mysterious stone...

Today the Piave river was my constant companion. This morning I got a nice scratch from a blackberry branch. The guidebook says that the narrow path along the riverbank will be...

We had breakfast at 9 o'clock. Quite early. However, since it was typically Italian and not quite to our taste, we had a croissant 🥐 and yogurt 🥄 with a glass of orange juice...

Knowing that the last stages are very sweat-inducing, not because of the elevation gain but because of the heat, I try to take advantage of the early morning hours. After all,...

Today we finally went to the sea with the hotel shuttle and enjoyed the beautiful turquoise water! In the late afternoon, the children wanted to go to the rocks from yesterday...

The hut attendant yesterday, a bit special. But nice, that's always the most important thing. After it rained, he called us over and showed us the view of the Venice Lagoon. One...

We woke up quite early, but still had to hurry to get everything ready for the journey by 10 am. But we managed it. Yeay 🥳 Since we could only check in at 3 pm in Pisa, we...

You think I'm being careless?!?!?! ... the intervals between my reports getting longer?!?!?! Well, since I locked my phone myself (deeply relaxed or absolutely stupid - you can...

After a siesta in the cool room, we walked to San Pantaleo - an idyllic mountain village about 2.5 km away from the hotel. There we first had a delicious ice cream, then went to...

Das Hotel hat meine Erwartungen vollkommen übertroffen (man muss auch sagen, dass deren Internetauftritt mäßig ist) - wir sind begeistert von der Lage, der Ruhe, dem Service und...

Wir drei starteten heute um 17:00 nach Olbia und kamen gegen 20:30 im Hotel Rocce Sarde an, einer wunderschönen Hotelanlage im rötlichen Felsen. Wir haben ein relativ kleines...

After briefly checking the parking situation in Florence yesterday, we drove into the city this morning and took a little tour. The kids bought postcards and tested their...

After a late breakfast with toast without crust (we had to buy and test it 😂🍞), we started exploring the city. Kevin and his family praised Florence so much, the expectations...

After a wonderfully peaceful night, this morning I walked downhill through the forest to the bus stop at 1:30. I was accompanied by a math teacher from England. Oh my God, I was...

Another night of rain, but sunshine is expected towards morning. I didn't sleep very well because there are always people who think that when 7 people sleep in a room, there's...

Sat at the table for dinner with 2 hikers last night and enjoyed some company once again. Good stuff. After 2 km on the road, this morning started with a climb through dense old...
