Travelogues Italy

And another beautiful, eventful day in Volterra. After a leisurely breakfast, I tackled some very steep streets - it's amazing what Google Maps considers as 'mostly flat' with...

Hello friends, it's the second day in Florence! The sun is shining and I'm on my way to Fiesole.🙈 I have to show off my little bit of Italian.☺️ So, a sunny morning wakes me...

After the rather disappointing visit to an ancient thermal bath complex, we drive to the Nuraghendorf Santa Christina. There you can still see a complete Nuraghe. And an...

Unfortunately, we wake up with rain at Capo Carbonata. According to the weather app, it will be nice and sunny tomorrow. So we'll go to Cagliari. We drive on the SS 17 with...

Lucca is our insider tip in Tuscany. We like it so much that we spend two days in this beautiful city. There is a lot to see in the old town. Many churches, each...

Vieste is definitely worth a visit! Like many other cities in Apulia, Vieste also has a great location by the sea. Nice cafes invite you to linger. ...

Today we started divided. While Anita had a guided tour in the Borghese Gallery at 9:30 - as the children would say, in the picture museum - the children and I went a little...

The second day was all about further exploring Rome and the Christian origins in the catacombs around Rome. As usual, we didn't leave the apartment until after 10:00. We headed...

My bike journey was slowly coming to an end. Due to my stay in Rimini, I only had a few days left for cycling and wanted to use them for a small tour through Tuscany....

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...

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...

At 7 a.m., the alarm clock rang. Then we drove to Chioggia, which is a seaport in the Italian region of Veneto. Here is the largest and most important fishery port in Italy. And...

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...

I took the cable car to Col dei Baldi. The path led me to Forcella Alleghe and Rifugio Coldai through a beautiful landscape at the foot of the mighty Civetta massif. Then I...

My sunglasses are still there :-/

Art on the mountain

After the big tour yesterday, I'm not doing much today. First, I move to a different spot on the campsite, away from the jungle where it smells like piss, to a more airy and...

Today I have a day off, don't ride a single meter with the bike, but take the public bus to Venice and back for 3,00€. Of course, I have my mascherina in the pannier, but I...

Not far from us is the peninsula of Sirmione. We parked our car at the last free parking lot and now had a 3.5 kilometer walk ahead of us to the tip of the island. We passed...

I wake up at 6:00 a.m., want to leave, but private stress prevents me from going back to sleep. Somehow I can no longer stay in the hostel room, the tent is more familiar and...

After the philosophical-sociological discussions last night with Jan, the Dutch theologian - in search of a synthesis between modern individualism and being embedded in a...

How exhausting the last two days were, I only realize in comparison: today I can simply follow the bike path signs and don't have to constantly look at the navigation system or...

It was Easter. And we thought everything would be closed. But no. All the shops were open and the town was crowded. So breakfast and lunch were covered 😀 The food is so damn...

After a night at the beach and a morning walk, we drove to Livorno to have breakfast. Google suggested a great place, so we went to a colorful café where they had really good...

On Monday, after a walk with the dog, we had a city tour in Munich. We took the subway to Marienplatz and enjoyed a great breakfast at Dallmeyer before watching the beautiful...

Spring!

The night at the tower was restless as expected. Not because of the young people, but because of the adjacent street. Traffic all night long, unbelievable! Probably all the...

First of all, on Thursday we headed to the Fichtelgebirge - picking up Micha and filling up our supplies for the vacation in the store after closing time. What is everyday life...

Swimming, cycling, and hiking in the Italian Alps.

The days in Italy were beautiful, with a real nostalgic holiday feeling. At the first campsite, there was even a minimal childcare service, which Gian immediately participated...
