Grappa coffee anyone? 02/08/2013

I'm sitting at a beautiful view point, at just over 3000m which I hiked up with a crazy italian man who only speaks italian and who I couldn't understand at all! Then when we got to the top he gave me grappa spiked coffee and told me a whole lot of other things in italian that I couldn't understand. What a great country!

The best things in life are free 01/08/2013

Its amazing to me that right now I'm lying in my van looking out over an incredible view, I'm almost the only person on the mountain and this is all free! I had the most hair raising trip up here along extremely narrow roads, in my van but it was completely worth it! I wish everyone could see and appreciate this. There would be a lot more happy people in the world if this was the case. Wow! So beautiful out here!

Nestled in the mountains 31/07/2013

So it seems that parking lots at gondolas are fair game for overnight camping, there are loads of campers here but whether they stay the night is another thing. Ended up on a very interesting hike today through the old battle tunnels the italians used during ww1. Very interesting but no luck finding the via ferrata, that's tomorrows plan. The mountains here are incredible! I'm enjoying looking at them for the mere cost of €4.50 cos that's what a beer costs here! Heart failure! No drinking for me if that's what a beer costs!

Campsites :( 29/07/2013

I cheated tonight, I went into a campsite, but I remember why I like wild camping so much, its partly cos its free but also cos you have the place to yourself, its secluded and the other people there are all like minded. So tomorrow night will be back to wild camping
