Saturday 29th
Two hour drive from Lienz to Tre Cime di Lavaredo - no I'd never heard of it either, but the walk around the 3 peaks is apparently de rigueur..... this much was obvious when we got to the car park ..... hundreds of cars, 30 euro to enter the park! It's where the two chaps from TV show Italy Unpacked ended the last show.. I'm willing to bet they were helicoptered in for the shoot!
Suffice to say, we came, we saw, we walked... well worth the effort - scenery spectacular, reviews discuss it like it's a walk in the park... trust me ...it is NOT... took us about 3.5 to 4 hours and it is very strenuous... in other words, a lot of uphill sections and the downhill ones very hazardous with loose rubble. More walking poles than you can shake a stick at, very sensible people... not us of course.
We continued on to our next stop Cortina d'Ampezzo, another v tres chic (this time Italian) Alps town............. and have been flatout on the bed for last 2 hours.... totally destroyed!
