Do you also sometimes look outside and it's a wet, grey day, and think 'let's stay inside'. But hey, we are in Italy and you don't stay inside. We are glad we took the gamble.
It was also said here that there is not much to hike. How wrong can they be. I put together a route and it was beautiful, even

The weather forecast for today was not very good: thunderstorms, rain and hail.
But we decided to take the chance anyway and got on the ferry to Pella.
I thought I had created a nice combined route, half paved and half unpaved.
But Italy wouldn't be Italy if they just closed something somewhere.
And precisely

There are not many hiking opportunities around here, but I still gave it a try.
Last night, after some effort, I finally put something together and, lo and behold, it turned out to be a nice walk too.
As usual in Italy, there are no paths where they should be, but then of course we make our own (responsibly

Easier said than done. After the short trip to the island, I quickly put together a route. And I must say, it was enjoyable.
Quietly along the water of Orta, then a climb up to the Sacred Mountain with an incredible amount of sculptures of Saint Francis and other saints.
When we (thought we) had taken

Today we took the crossing to Isola San Giulio. A beautiful small basilica with beautiful frescoes. Unfortunately, it was crowded with large groups of tourists. So we took refuge outside in the fresh air.
And after an hour we were back in the square. Beautiful, worth it but very short 😁.
So back to the

After a long journey through all sorts of small villages and a bus that stops every moment to let its passengers on and off, we arrived at our hotel around half past two.
First we checked in and immediately went for a reconnaissance tour through San Giulio... with an ice cream in hand. That was abruptly

Today our first day of vacation. On the way to Italy with a stopover in Bad Bellingen.
After almost 700 kilometers, we wanted to stretch our legs first.
For that, I had already prepared a route. But I misjudged it a bit🫣.
To get out of the village, there were many stairs to overcome, and then the real

A pleasant walk with Loes via Alem to Rossum, for the necessary coffee (caffeine) at De Gouden Molen.
We also stopped by our new gym to see how the work is progressing👍
From the number of photos, you can see how the walk was 😂. When we were at her door, we hadn't finished chatting yet 😊

There was a birthday in the family, so we walked to coffee and cake 😊.
It was cozy 🥳, delicious 🍰, well-deserved 😉 and the weather was beautiful 🌞, so we went back home via a nicer route afterwards 🥾🥾

As said, a very strange start!
Yesterday we still looked at the navigation for the route to our overnight accommodation in Germany... ± 7.5 hours (354 km!). Well, that Gotthard Tunnel😏.
This morning we turned on the navigation and hey.... ± 4 hours. It was early, maybe no traffic jams🤔.
So we were driving
