Saturday, May 6, 2023, beautiful weather even though it was forecasted differently. We took the regional train to Trieste for the last kilometers. We pushed the bikes through...

Start the day with T5 sightseeing - exchange experiences with nice travelers. Then yoga with sun and bird chirping, along with the Zen of donkeys. This place has enchanted me....

Toll Day of toll, one after the other. The route from Arles (F) to San Remo (I) is divided into many small payable sections. We were rewarded at the last French rest area with a...

We are going on a trip to Sirmione. Although we have been to the beautiful Lake Garda several times, we have never been here before. The Castle of Sirmione The weather...

After spending a whole day on the bus because it was pouring without pause, we are even more happy that the sun is shining again today. In the morning, it is bitterly cold, only...

Yes, L'Aquila still leaves the same sad impression as it did 10 years ago when I was here last. A few more buildings have been rebuilt. Many are still supported, with completely...

Most of the time, we look for the next location in the early afternoon, around 2 pm, like here at the port of Santa Maria de Leuca, commonly known as Leuca. At the bottom of the...

According to legend, around the year 1600 there was a shipwreck. The sailors prayed in their distress and vowed to build a church if they were saved. The ship sank,...

To distract ourselves from the truly ubiquitous trash and blocked beaches, we drive to a great gorge, the Cavagrande del Cassibile. Almost like a miniature Grand Canyon....

We arrive in Trapani and we don't like the suggested pitches at the harbor and in the city. Finally, we end up on the road to the northeastern beach. It is a one-way street and...

Back in Aosta with an espresso

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...

Golden facade

Ok, ok... we didn't take the heat into account in our tour planning. So it's not an option to extend our stay in Chioggia. We start early in the morning through the flat lagoon...

Today we return to the Adriatic Sea in the Venetian Lagoon. But not to Venice, but to the equally beautiful Chioggia. The scooter ride goes along the hot coast to Ravenna. By...

After a peaceful night at a beautiful place overlooking the sea, we continued on scenic winding roads towards Bari. A break in Molfetta for a second breakfast at the beach...

Sakradi is this corner beautiful! Today we rode across the Marche region on the smallest and often quite bumpy roads to Umbertide and then to Lake Trasimeno. Here we got rid of...

Of course, we didn't want to miss the Leaning Tower of Pisa while we're in the area. As expected, it was extremely crowded here. To balance out the hustle and bustle, we went...

My morning coffee

Today by bus to Siena, the bus driver is in a hurry to get there again 🙈😉. You have a really nice view of Siena from the Fortezza medicea, which is within walking distance...

Today was hiking day! Not many kilometers, but since it always goes downhill from San Gimignano and then has to go back uphill, the distances count double with gradients of up...

This place breathes history! Everything is ancient, the large door portals, the arches, these towers— old and very cozy is this Tuscan town, which sits high up on the hill. The...

It is really so incredibly crooked - the Leaning Tower of Pisa!!! If you look at it from the right angle, you feel like it could collapse any minute. It's truly amazing how this...

Today Viareggio - off to the Mediterranean Sea. Sun, beach, sand under the feet, warm wind in March - heavenly for a North German. 😁 Only downside: the city is full of young...

My legs know where they've been today! First to Mercato - quite interesting but if you know the market of Barcelona, it spoils all the others. But: Insider tip - the toilets on...

Flights with stopovers in Munich went well. Arrived in Florence - the airport is very manageable, it has exactly 1 runway - took the train for 1.50 euros to the city center and...

We drove through Savona for half the late afternoon, looking for a parking spot. The city was bustling, even the cemetery wasn't really quiet. Only in the suburb of Quiliano...

The usual procedure with loud and shrill whistling until we have positioned Rudi correctly on the ship. The cabin is nice, but too cold for Burki. So he occasionally mutates...
