Tractorhead 9,209 #1 Posted September 8, 2021 Because of the last months just Rain i needed urgently one Week Sun. To smoothened the last troublefull weeks Mrs. Tractorhead and i decide to spent few Day‘s in Italy. 760Km across 3 States Austria, Liechtenstein and Swiss to Italy. Drop all mobilephones switch off all electric stuff except for few Picts and away we went. What a beautiful Travel. the Mountains in Liechtenstein, Swiss and Italy where we had a Rest. 760 Km later we be on the Beach Daily 26 -30Deg C and just sunny Day‘s. What a difference. even in the night not 9 deg - no, 23 degrees was the coldest Night. few Peppers as „ souvenir“ but doe anybody knows what we have found here? we have no clue whats it. The Bush was interesting, so we asked if we be allowed to grab one, but also the Owner doesn‘t know exactly what it is. He only meant „i dunno, huh, it grows here...“ 😄 So where are the Plant experts? 6 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 9,209 #5 Posted September 10, 2021 Yap Vitamine D was the most i needed urgently, but i completely undersestimate the Sun there in September. It was not too hot, but IR radiation was high enough to burn the skin if you stay too long into Direct Sunlight. However, back at home i do yesterday together with Mrs. Tractorhead a first cleanup here. Autum starts it‘s first Visits here, that indicates the Leaves what is falling since. Lets have a little Fun and crusing arround with the Wheelhorse and the sweeper for a Cleanup today. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 9,209 #6 Posted September 10, 2021 Here are few more impressions on the Trip. First we drive to Milano - near the Monza Racetrack with a daily Tour to Turin. i love those gothic Construction style... the highest Point in Turin was the Monte Cappuccini.. what give an impressive overview over Turin. after Milano where we had a 2 night stay and Turin we Headed more south to Diano Marina in Italy close to the French Border. The complete Tour was allmost made with a 130Km/h speedlimit. But we recieved an great Weather and view. The Hotel was directly on the Beach.- pretty Cool. here we found a rare thing in Cellphone- times but it is still Active. everywhere in the City was such water dispenser even with drinking Water.. a nice little chapel with outside Bells.. The next day‘s we discover the Areal. lots of little mountains with a lot of Historic Churches and chapels. But the Way to them are often a little steep. but with few Breaks we climbed them all together. A good condition Training for me and for Mrs. Tractorhead after her Heart Attack, to get back in better Conditions. every Steep hill was graduated with a fantastic View at a great Weather. a lot of historic old Constructions partially renewed mixed with real Old Style give them all a fantastic impressive look. We ride all the Way‘s with Bicycles we can leant from the Hotel free of Charge. Than on Saturday last Week a big Fleetmarket middle in the City. where you can see a lot of curiosity‘s... mostly a lot of old craftman‘s tools. maybe a Treasurebox for Cas. i stopped shortly on the right Picture (maybe great Decals for a Military Tractor) but here on my Site they things beeing forbidden to own them War Weapon control Law. At least We visit Diano Castello, a smaller Historic Chapel in about 160m height and few Km far. the Way to the Chapel was also verysteep and heavy to go, even while pushing the Bycicles uphill. felt thousands sairs to the Top.. than you be there. I doing that Panorama Pict in the little church. And on the Outside of it. but as historical they be, the modern they be also. They be best prepared for ebikers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
