I am going to do replies and an update to the trip report when we get back home, but here are a few (foody) impressions of our short relaxing trip to Italy.
We left around 6am on Saturday morning and the weather was dreadful, grey, rainy and pretty cold. It took us about 3 hours (and several tunnels crossing the Alps) to get to some nicer weather.
and then the GPS reported a big traffic jam because of an accident. We followed its advice, got off the motorway and made good progress.
Later we got back onto the motorway and soon we crossed the border into Italy.
And another hour and a half we reached our destination, went shopping and arrived at the hotel around 2pm.
And here's a word of warning!!! There are TONS of food pics, so you better fill your belly before going on. Since we always spend those short vacations in the same town and same aparthotel there are just a few pics of the town and things.
When we arrived, we got everything up to our room (got upgraded to a two bedroom instead of the one bedroom I had booked!!) and had a very late lunch.
We had found this chocolate spread and it was delicious! Not as sweet as Nutella and very creamy! Yum!
After lunch we unpacked what was necessary to unpack, then went for a walk around town, just to find out that there were LOADS of young people celebrating the holidays with a lot of alcohol. Very noisy indeed, but we did our best to get out of their way.
Dinner looked a lot like lunch.
We did a little evening walk, doing some window shopping, but since we had been up very early that day, we had to make it an early night too.
