Incredible Venice in winter
Breda di Piave, Province of Treviso Italy.
We decided to spend the day in Venice, as we are staying at Locanda Rosa Rosae only a few minutes outside of the city in Veneto province.
The temptation of traveling here in the off season, among the architecture and atmosphere is something to behold.
I have only been here a few times, each time a different experience.
I think the secret to this destination is being with the appropriate company.
Kornati Archipelago, National Marine Reserve
Rovinj, Croatia
Quick facts
Rovinj is a Croatian fishing port on the west coast of the Istrian peninsula. The old town stands on a headland, with houses tightly crowded down to the seafront. A tangle of cobbled streets leads to the hilltop church of St. Euphemia, whose towering steeple dominates the skyline. South of the old town is Lone Bay, one of the area’s pebble beaches. The Rovinj archipelago’s 14 islands lie immediately off the mainland.
Venice in Summer
Where the culinary trade all began,
Hidden among side streets and old canals.
Little gems of trattorias are what you’re after,
if thats not your style I suggest you visit “Harrys bar “ and don’t forget the blazer.
as Winter approach
the dark-side of Italy
From medieval times, these mountains have been haunted.
This is the area of Piemonte, small villages dotted along the valley.
The town of Triora, overlooking it all.
Col de Tende, the History on the Alps
Following the peaks of the Limone ski-resort, this dirt track connects France & Italy.
Featuring beautiful views and world-war history.
Start with some lunch in the near by town of Limone Piemonte and take the 4×4 track over the Alps towards Casterino, this area still allows wild camping and breathtaking hiking.
Take care with some spares and always carry water & warm gear in Alpine country.
- The town of Castérino is situated 1550 meters high, in the city limits of Tende, in the upper Orya Valley. Surrounded by the Sainte Marie (2740 meters), Chajol (2293 meters) and Agnelino (2201) mountains, Castérino is the main access road to the Valley of Wonders. A scenic walk will take you to the small Castérino lake, along the Casterine stream and through pleasant meadows where alpine flora is particularly abundant. In the spring, you will observe many species of orchids, (orchidea sambucina, the manina rosea…). Along the river and the lake, you can see the dipper, a small passerine bird that sports a white chest and never strays far from the water.
