Italy & Dolomites Wrap

Thursday, 9 July 2026

I love the Dolomites - returning was everything I'd hoped for after our brief visit in 2019. The sheer volume of the walking trails and incredible mountain views and flower filled meadows plus ample refugios for purchasing Coke Zero makes them a massive winner for me. We had great weather which certainly helped but I'd certainly love to come back for more walking or ski-ing.  The only crappy part was the stupid busses.  

I also love Italy - I think it's my favourite continental country (in my very limited experience)  - the variation of landscapes is incredible - from seaside to the mountains, the prices are fairly even with Australia and there's something charming about the slight italian chaos that seems to apply to many things.  I wouldn't mind less smoking, supermarkets that stocked a better range of food (hello indian and mexican) and better public toilets - but aside from that, it was great.
