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...

Still hanging around

Today is our last day here in Belvedere. Tomorrow we will head in the direction of Venice and hopefully find a nice place to stay there. It's been raining all morning and we're hoping it will stop some time today or at the very least tonight so the tent and everything...

The rain has stopped..for now

Finally the rain stopped around 11 am and, after a long walk with our newfie dog, it was time for lunch.Yesterday at the market, we bought quite a few local products, including buffalo mozzarella fresh from the farm, a chunk of Parmesan, salami, prosciutto and other...

Rain, rain and more rain!

After an overcast day yesterday which we used to go shopping for groceries in Grado it has started raining over night.Thankfully we thought to bring our sun sail, which now has mutated into a rain tarp. Without it, it would definitely be absolutely miserable. Well,...

Shopping and relaxation

It's been rather overcast today which was not necessarily a bad thing since we wanted to take Ayla with us to Grado for the shopping excursion without it being too hot.We found the market we were looking in for full of fresh local produce and other local products and...
