Start:  Egna Neumarkt Finish:  Cardano Distance:  17 Total:  1084 Today was a productive, uneventful 17 mile walk through the countryside and around the city of Bolzano.  After a good night’s rest and an even better breakfast in the old city hall in Egna, I got on the road at 8:15 this morning. The humidity was … Continue reading »

From:  Lavis To:  Egna Neumarkt Miles:  16 Total:  1067 Another great day walking through the Adige River Valley. Most of the day was spent walking along the bike trail.  It appears bike riding is especially popular on Saturday mornings as the trail was very busy.  I had a great night of sleep at the Sartori’s … Continue reading »

Start:  Rovereto Finish:  Lavis Distance:  19 Total:  1051 Today was an easy walk, if 19 miles can be easy in 94 degree heat. That’s unusually hot for this part of Italy. The average high is 80 for this date so I guess I’m just lucky.  I saw on the forecast it was going to be … Continue reading »

Start:  Borghetto Finish:  Rovereto Distance:  19 Total:  1032 Today was a very straight forward 19 mile walk down Hwy 12 through more vineyard country. It was in the 60s early this morning but heated up to mid-80s by the end of my walk.  The day got started when I woke up at 6:00, after planning … Continue reading »

Start:  Corrubbio Finish:  Borghetto Distance:  19 Total:  1013 Today was my first full day on the road walking since the 90 day break and it was good to get back in the swing of things. It was a good day overall with a little chaos thrown in at the end just so I don’t get … Continue reading »

Start:  Verona Train Station Finish:  Corrubbio Distance:  6 miles Total:  994 It’s back on the road again for Part 2 of the walk across Europe. Today was a very long day. But I’ve made it back to Northern Italy and have picked the walk back up where it ended in March.  The day started with … Continue reading »

It’s been two months since Dave and I flew back to the states from Italy to take a break from our walk across Europe. I thought it would be a good time to give you an update on what’s been going on during our hiatus. First, both of us had uneventful returns to our respective … Continue reading »

This posting will be an attempt to summarize some of our experiences on Part 1 of our walk across Europe. In writing this, I hope to give you a feel for how the trip has progressed up to this point and also cover a few topics not discussed in our daily posts.  First, a few … Continue reading »

From: Nogara To: Verona Miles: 19 Total: 988 We had a good nights sleep and were up early on our final day of walking to grab breakfast and then get on the road. We decided to do a bit faster pace so we could make an earlier train. Once we stopped for lunch we had … Continue reading »

From:  Mirandola To:  Nogara Miles:  22 Total:  969 Today’s walk was pretty basic; though it was long and on a busy road most of the day.  We left the hotel in Mirandola at 8:30 after a good breakfast.  The morning was crisp with clear skies and light winds. The forecast said it would get more … Continue reading »
