My plan for Italy was very different but the weather doesnโt always play according to my rules, and then I adjust ๐
I had about 72 hours to sprint across Italy and get to Slovenia before a lot of very rainy days were about to begin.
So I skipped the cool Alpine passes and the coastline, too.
But I did manage to squeeze in the three things that I was really craving:
1. ๐ ๐ Garda lake and sunset pizza.
Half margarita / half marinara as I couldnโt decide which one I wanted more.
2. ๐ถ Venice. The most romantic city ever.
Iโve been to Italy so many times but never in Venice. Probably because I was afraid to break the illusion, the pretty picture of the canals I had created in my imagination.
But the time has come to see it already. No expectations. Just go and see with my own eyes. Itโs probably just a couple of canals, a few boats, one billion tourists – five photos and Iโm done.
And then I saw this! Saw and fell in love! I was wandering around and getting lost, finding more and more adorable corners, streets, boats, and of course canals.
Clothes hanging on a drying line across the water.
People enjoying an Aperol Spritz along the boardwalk.
Somebody is eating a pizza at the bridge stairs.
Pink streetlights.
About 400 bridges, all so different but equally cute!
The sun, the clouds, the sunset, the lights after darkโฆ
This is love ๐
3. ๐ Fusine lakes
I was pushing my limits with the weather, and I can confess that it was very cold and I had to use all the layers I could. But it went fine and was totally worth a little bit of suffering!
Those view ๐
It was three intense days but ๐ and I made it to our new home in Slovenia and just about half an hour later the rain started.
