Day 7 – Through the vineyards

If apples dominated the landscape of our trip two days ago, then today these were definitely the vineyards. Compared to Austria and Germany where wine is grown mostly on steep hills, and thus called Weinberg (wine mountain) here these are mostly flat fields. Like with the apples: highly industrialized with artificial irrigation and other extras.

Leaving Rovereto  we start bidding if the rain will come or not. I take the high risk and claim that no drops will hit us.
 Mapy.cz is fully excused. Even local bikers shook head when arriving to this fence.
Typical flat vineyards
Here a little bit more romantic on the slopes
A promising outlook for the harvest time
30 years ago English was missing knowledge. Today everyone in the hospitality industry has s strong command of it. Including this rug in a small village
The dark blue is the heavy rain which stayed behind us. And the hills explain why we ascended over 400 elevation meters though going “down the river”
The mountains subsides finally and the plains of Verona open up
Verona. A city made famous by Shakespeare, though he was never here. I am here for the third time,  mentioning Verona and my blog, but no one seems to notice. What might be the difference between Shakespeare and me?
Could there be a more Italian landscape?
90 km from Rovereto to Verona without a single drop of rain though …
