Here are a few shots from our journey from Bologna to the far northeast city of Bolzano. We took a few pit stops along the way and they were well worth it!
Our first "pit stop" was a gas station off the interstate. Why can't all American gas stations serve fresh sandwiches and espresso?
We stopped in Verona, Italy on our way to Bolzano. Remember that little story, Romeo and Juliet, by some guy named William Shakespeare? Yeah, me neither but apparently it took place in Verona and this is what has become known as Juliet's house. The tourists were EVERYWHERE but Tyler and I managed to mark our territory with a sharpie...
Can you find it?
Get ready for another cheesy video segment!
The day we left they held a production of Romeo and Juliet in the old Roman coliseum; I was so sad that we couldn't stay to see it.
After another 2 hours of driving we finally made it to Bolzano. It was amazing how the further north we drove the more German the architecture and food became.
We stayed at the Park Hotel Laurin in Bolzano and it was by far the nicest hotel stay of our trip! It has been hosting travelers for over 100 years and not only were the rooms and food lovely but the hotel garden was beautiful as well!
Can you find me in this picture?
The square in Bolzano.
Bolzano seemed to have some kind of identity crisis going on. It was part German, part Austrian, and part Italian. Thank goodness the German part meant they had some great beer to go along with the Italian wine!
One of the few things that Tyler DEMANDED that we do on this trip was to drive in the Dolomite mountain range in Northern Italy so that is just what we did!
A wine shop in the mountains.
Yet another "Sara looking at a map" shot.
We took a ski lift to the top of the mountain and did a little walking. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
Our 2 door compact car looks so hard core doesn't it?
Check out how windy the roads were!
Get ready for the final chapter of our European adventure, Salzburg, here we come!
