Three weeks of Italy in one go: a week in Tuscany on a vineyard with a very narrow gate, a visit to the ruins of Ostia Antica with Lou in a backpack while Sven pops over to sample Irish weather, and a drive across the country to Apulia. There an olive farm, a flight to Zurich and a town we had not even put on the list are waiting, and it still knocks us off our feet…

Lou finds Ostuni quite acceptable too

Two weeks in the Allgäu, an odometer that cracks 100,000 kilometres, and a mountain that this time greets us not with ice and snow but with almost too much sun. Then we get our home back from the Dachstein, and the second half of the season starts towards Bologna, where a lizard and some rather bad roads await us in the Apennines…
