Italy

How could we not love Italy? After all, it’s home to something we’re passionate about – the Slow Food movement. (In fact in Italy, it’s just… food.) We love the passion for eating simple but delicious meals and allowing the ingredients speak for themselves. Italian food culture is unlike any other.

But there’s more to Italy than just food and we’ve loved just about every experience we’ve had here. (Sorry Pisa.) We’ve found our spiritual home in the mountains of South Tyrol, fell in love with the hilltop villages of Umbria, marvelled at the coastlines of Sardinia, and indulged in the traditions of Tuscany.

And while Andrew still isn’t sold on Venice, we had one of the best meals of our life in Veneto. (Alison is still holding out hope for a return to the canals.)

Exploring the rest of Italy by motorhome is near the top of our wish list so you can be sure those empty spaces on the map below will be filled in soon.

Searching for wildlife in Sardinia

Our final day in Sardinia, we wanted to escape to nature. The sun was shining, but it was cool and windy, so it wasn’t a day for lying on the beach.

Instead, we headed to Lago di Baratz, a lake and nature preserve north of Alghero. It looked perfect in our guidebook – hiking trails through the woods, a peaceful lake and plenty of birds and wildlife to photograph.

Worth waiting for the rain to stop

Onto every parade a little rain must fall and, on day four, our Sardinian adventure got soggy.

Normally I don’t mind a bit of rain when I’m travelling. I just head inside to a museum, gallery or shop and wait out the weather. This was a bit of a problem for us however, as it was Easter Sunday and absolutely everything was closed.
