Relearning Old Skills

Aimi hasn’t been feeling great the last couple days. Its not the dreaded Covid, because we’ve repeatedly tested, but she’s pretty under the weather.

This is very frustrating for her, as she’s usually the one to be up and out and raring to go on all the excursions. On holidays Aimi is all about doing things. It’s funny because at home, she enjoys nothing more than being snuggled up with me and Kayto (mostly kayto) on the sofa with a fire and a movie on.

But while I hope she gets better soon (no-one wants to be ill on holiday) this sort of plays into my hands. It provides a biologically enforced reason for her to take her medicine; sitting quietly, drinking lots of water and the happy byproduct of boredom is lots of lovely reading.

There is also very little I can do to help, so I went wakeboarding…

Exploring the Hotel Forest

We rose late, per holiday dictates, and headed down to the restaurant from last night. The feast we found was spectacular!

Tui Travel

For the first time in about 3 years I went to the dentist and luckily – presumably due to good brushing technique – I don’t have any major problems. I just need to book a hygienist appointment.

So I did

For today

Mere hours before our flight to Turkey

Panic In Verona

Last day started with checking the hire car docs. We didn’t have to give it back till the same hour we are supposed to take off at the airport. This means we have most of the day to mooch our way over to Verona, and get a small amount of sight seeing in before leaving.

Looping Col Rosa

You: What did you do on holiday?

Me: We went to Italy and walked up hills.

You: What… for fun?

Me: Yes

You: … All week?

Me: Yes

Tres Cime De Lavaredo

This morning we were not going to be denied our target climb. We bounded out of bed early like postmen on speed. Gobbled up some scrambled eggs on toast, and were out of the house before 0715.

Then we had to scrape ice off the car windshield for 10 mins with a credit card…

Rest Day Run

We are off to another Via Ferrata today on Tres Cime De Lavaredo. We did not need to be super energetic this morning because we aren’t catching a cable car. A leisurely breakfast of spicy beans n eggs by Scott set us up nicely. The nice drive thru Cortina and up into the mountains was going great, but when we arrived at the road to the pass, it was shut!
