Next
day off to our Castle: Schloss Hotel Korb, because that’s the kind of thing we
do. It overlooks the town of Bolzano,
which is the capital of Alto Adige. A
really buzzing old town where every second shop had a wine bar.
This
whole region was annexed by Italy from Austria after WWI but they are still
German. I had to keep reminding myself
that we were in Italy. This is me sitting on the balcony, drinking Blauburgunder
(that’s German for Pinot Noir), looking at the view.
Continuing in our self-indulgent holiday, the next morning at breakfast they offered us champagne. What else could we do?
