Our trip home this morning actually began before 8 am. We woke at about 6:45 and took care of everything faster than even we had anticipated. We even had time for a short walk with Ayla before piling in the Defender and heading out on our 1000 km trip home. We weren't...
A very long day
As usual, we were up at 6:45 with Ayla. Her internal alarm clock truly is something lol.We planned to be on the road by 8 am since we knew we had about 10 hours of driving ahead of us without any stops and we didn't want to get back home too late since hubby had to be...
A quest for Chianti and olive oil
Our plans today revolved around getting Steffen's van fixed. The repair guy was supposed to show up at 9 am but I guess everything moves a bit slower here and they didn't actually arrive until 11. They took a look at the van and though it was the oil pan which would...
Our last day
As has more or less been the usual routine, Ayla woke us up at about 6:45 this morning. We fed her and then took her for a walk at around 8 and our friends were awake by then also since the auto repair guy was supposed to come at 9 am. Since they have a small market...
Driving and driving
After a somewhat short 5 hour sleep, we got up on Tuesday morning to continue on our journey. Today's trek would take us from Ponte Sabbioni to somewhere around Florence. About a 400 km drive, we were looking at almost a full day's drive with a few breaks scattered...
Welcome to Tuscany
After a rather long and twisting road through the mountains, we have arrived at our campsite in the Mugello region (Camping Village Mugello Verde) and are happy to settle in here. Ayla didn't seem to mind the twists and turns up and down the mountains on the mountain...
On the road again
After going to bed rather late last night (you can read about our excellent dinner at our other blog here) and getting only about 5 hours of sleep, we are back on the road again and on our way to Florence. It's about a 400 km drive which hubby and I might usually do...
Venice is now behind us…
Yesterday we left our campsite in Belvedere and drove 120 km to Punta Sabbioni. The campsite we originally wanted to stay at which has it's own private beach and a special dog area was closed for the quiet lunch hour from 1 pm until 3 pm. This wouldn't have been the...
A Newf in Venice
We are on our way back from Venice and I have to say it has been a really great day overall. We were a bit concerned there might be too many people for Ayla or she might misbehave but she acted just like we wanted her to. Somehow, she always seems to know exactly when...
Off to Venice
We got up this morning and made the 120 km journey from Belvedere to Punta Sabbioni. Punta Sabbioni is a 40 minute ferry ride from Venice and therefore we figured it would be the best place to spend the night without us having to worry about things being stolen from...
