Wake up in Airolo On Saturday, August 28 we woke up in Airolo. I had all mine and Lira’s warm clothes on me to stop the cold. I was able to delay the actual cold till September 10. Breakfast was included, so we eat along with all the bikers, who […]
Next day, Friday, August 27 2010 we woke up in Swiss-Italian Airolo. During breakfast we met a Swiss couple, who traveled on the rail, because it was “free” for them. They pay over 3000 CHF per year each to use the rial system for everyday commute. So they decided to […]
Next day – Thursday, August 26, 2010 – it was time to leave Bellagio and Italy and return to Switzerland. First, we had to drive using the same narrow and picturesque road along lake Come and enter Switzerland through Chiasso. Just a second ago we were driving on a busy […]
On Wednesday, August 25 we woke up in Bellagio in Albergo Giardinetto. We followed an interesting breakfast ritual here. We bought croissants and fresh-cut cold cuts and thin sliced cheeses in the deli right on Via Garibaldi (MICHELE GILARDONI, Alimentari – Salumeria – Rosticceria, Via Bellosio,1) , but we got our […]
Next morning, Tuesday, August 24, 2010 we went to swim in Mediterranean Sea before breakfast. I didn’t swim. Only Lira swam, and I was in charge or taking pictures from the pier. Out next point of interest could have been Milan, but as usual we decided to skip cities and […]

On Monday, August 23, we woke up in Genova to proceed to the southernmost point of our trip – Italian Riviera. We took an advice of our host Stephan (75% sure the name is correct) to avoid more popular and more remote Cinque Terre. We dropped our bags and started […]
Last event yesterday links with the first event today. Late last night I discovered that cheap charge wire for iPhone that I buy from China for $1 stopped working, and my phone have only 5% charge left. Today, I found a twist of the wire and I was able to […]
Always in progress . . . Next morning started around 7 (I opened my eyes at 07:22). Around 8:40 AM, I started my hike. For that day, I planned to complete a circle – climb 4,832 Carter Dome mountain, descend on a Black Angel trail, and complete the […]
Life is always in progress until it is not This time it was a special trip. I used all the accumulated information and wisdoms of previous trips on this trip. I woke up really early on Friday morning August 29 2014 (04:39 AM), checked the weather one last time […]
And just when you think there is nothing can beat the excitement of the highest mountains in Europe, you proceed to the road ahead. Next day, Sunday, August 22, we decided to bypass Turin and go directly to Genova. We typed in an address of Red House Hostel (Via B.Buozzi, 26/9) in […]
