After another day in the mountains, we decided to leave Cortina, and make our way deeper into Italy. Our first location was Bolzano – a small, and beautiful city just to the West of Cortina.

After walking the streets, and visiting the city’s many market stalls in the rain, we headed into Chiesa dei Francescani (St. Francis Church) – where we got our first glimpse of an Italian cloister – “dating from the fourteenth century, is Gothic with Gothic arches trefoil, and all decorated with an elaborate series of frescoes”.
After another solid pizza, we headed out of Bolzano, South, towards Lake Garda, where we would setup camp for the night, right on the shores of the lake. A massive storm was brewing, so we chilled that night at the campsite bar, before going to bed.
