The Netherlands - Obsteig, Austria - Montebelluna, Italy

Flying once again to The Netherlands from Atlanta, Georgia/USA for the 37th time.
Our 11th trip to Italy by car, in August of 1993, with Dad's Ford Fiesta...
We left on August 4 and spent the night in Obsteig, Austria.
Me walking outside of Hotel Tyrol, now the Aktivhotel Tyrol, Unterstrass 243 in Obsteig 6416 Austria.
Here I am just outside the door of the hotel, ready to continue our journey into Italy!
We enjoyed a wonderful brunch before getting on the road again.
In Bassano, we were waiting till the leather shoe/boots factory opened up...
Taking in our beautiful surroundings!
Yes, we lived in this area and in this very town, our ceramic chandeliers got made. See links below post.
We spent the night at Albergo Gallo in Montebelluna...
On August 6, we visited FUNGHI DEL MONTELLO where we both worked in 1989...
Mushrooms from the mountains when translated into English and you can see why.
On Saturday, August 7, we move to Albergo Hotel Ristorante Tegorzo, Fener, (BL) Italy province of Belluno which is more to the north.
We also had visited Bar Belvedère in Cornuda, that used to be below our apartment and enjoyed a coffee at Daniella's place. We also met our former neighbor and the owner of the super market across from our apartment.
On Sunday, August 8, we went to Mass in Cornuda, our former Church. Next we went to Asolo but there was no antique market that Sunday. We did find an antique crystal jar with silver lid for storing jewelry.
We did drive around in the area and also walked...
Yes, I was wearing my Donna Karan jeans set...
Always hard to leave as part of our heart belongs to that region near Venice, Italy!
Both of us love mountains and nature...
Next day on Monday. August 9, we drove back to The Netherlands and had done more than 2,400 km or 1,491 mi.
That was a trip including three languages... Dutch; German and Italian.

Ciao Italia!

    1. Dearest Claudia,
      Indeed, a lot of driving for just a short visit but that's what we most times were facing, also due to our work.
      Loved wearing the Donna Karan outfit at the time.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  2. Hello Mariette, The scenery on that trip sure was remarkable. Mountains sure are beautiful to look at and to hike in, but the driving is something else! If much of that trip was on twisting mountain roads, it must have been nerve wracking!

    1. Dearest Jim,
      No, none of our driving was on twisting mountain roads.
      Most of it was Interstate and even the State road crossing over to the East is following a river and is thus in the valley and it contains lots of tunnels through the mountains.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

      It sure is in a beautiful region and we still love it, just the economics of having to build in a seismic area, we opted for not going forward with that.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  4. Such great photos with pretty buildings and beautiful mountains! Hotel Tyrol is so lovely with flowers put outside of each window. You are beautiful in your Donna Karan jeans set, Mariette. It was a long trip going through three languages but must have been lots of fun :-)
    Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend!

    Those lovely images remind me of when I went to Austria too. Loved it, although it was such a long time ago.

    1. Dearest Fabby,
      Thank you for your compliment.
      Oh, Austria always looked so invitingly but we never had the time to actually stay a while and e.g. walk...
      Great memories nevertheless and they do become a true cushion for old age!

    1. Querida Antonia,
      Sí, tienes tanta razón sobre esos geranios colgantes. Los dos los amamos mucho, pero aquí en Georgia es demasiado caliente... ¡Disfruta de la tuya!
      Abrazos,
      Mariette
