Such great pictures! I’m so glad you had a good visit. I think walking around soaking in the atmosphere was the right choice for a short visit. I’m torn between nostalgia and jealousy looking at the city again. Lucky you!
3 years agoI'm really glad I was able to fit Venice in - thanks for being one of the voices of encouragement!
3 years agoI really hope you enjoy Venice as well as Northern Italy - I've been having a blast. I'll be looking forward to your trip.
3 years agoI’m so glad you made it there, and at such a quiet time. Wonderful that you got such beautiful weather for it.
3 years agoWow! I am so looking forward to Venice, even though it will be the end of our long-awaited tour of northern Italy. I hope the cruise ship ban lasts until then!

3 years agoIt seems to me that you should test the tiramisu at as many restaurants as possible...just to be sure that Guido was correct.
3 years agoYou're right Suzanne - Villa Angarano. But, according to Wikipedia, the villa was "Originally conceived by Andrea Palladio around 1548 , only the side wings were built to a design by the famous architect. The central body is the work of Baldassare Longhena in the seventeenth century ." Still, it is listed with other Palladio villas as a world heritage site.
I'll have to go back to my other photos of the villa to check out the side wings!
Thanks Rich!
3 years agoThat's what I was thinking Rich - that the GPS couldn't find the road and was just reading off the elevation of the hill/mountain side. Interestingly,. the RWGPS route gave me a huge peak going through the Taueran Tunnel when I went from Bad Gastein to Mallnitz but the ride elevation had leveled the peak thru the tunnel. Here, the peak was the same on the route and the ride.
3 years agoI’ve had RWGPS show me those vertical climbs before. They’ve always turned out to be tunnels. Maybe that section under the rock overhang got interpreted as a tunnel?

My wife and I spent the night in Este a couple of years ago. Very nice municipal archaeological museum with pre-history items from the area. But we weren't there on a market day. That looks wonderful.
