Day 31 Heaven can wait

Now, from time to time over the last few weeks I have blabbed on about the good food and wine we have experienced. Well, today we walked back into Italy, to book into an old fashioned hotel in Cormons. No lunch was offered, but the dinner was to die for.

Entree was spinach and ricotta ravioli, main was venison and wild boar, and the dessert, oh my god, the dessert was ice cream with fig and rum. Not sure how to put into words but I am delaying cleaning my teeth for as long as possible.

We sampled both the house white and red wines, grown in a vineyard across the road, both beautiful.

Rome

I used to dislike spending much money on accommodation, far better to spend it on food and beer. But as the colour of my hair has changed, so too has my appreciation for air conditioning, good location, views and room to swing the cat. With this in mind we decided to book a nice place to spend the last 4 days of our amazing trip and we have not been disapointed. The apartment, booked though airbnb is fantastic, even better than we had hoped. Great location, in the Monti district, lots of narrow lanes, restaurants, bars, and the best gelateria in Rome immediately below us.

Day 36 Bagnoli Della Rosandra

Left the horses this morning and walked up a steep hill before joining an old railwayline now conveted to a cycle and walking path. The path follows the Italian/Slovenian border for a while and includes several tunnels. Left this path to descend down into the Val Rosandra gorge which we followed into the small town of Bagnoli Della Rosandra. We have now left Slovenia for the last time and will spend our final week or so in Italy. We only have one more day on the Alpe Adria Trail. It seems to have gone very quickly and in some ways tomorrow will be a little sad.

Bitte pssst!

Finished up in Vienna with a good meal and boutique beers from a local pub in a lovely town square. Caught the fast train to Salzburg this morning. It reached speeds of up to 230kmph and got us there in time for an early lunch and stroll around the old centre.  The main plaza was the meeting point for a classic car rally. Thought Will in particular would like some of these photos . More photos and narrative of fortresses, churches and narrow cobbled streets tomorrow.
