Grappa
2 weeks ago we visited to Bassano del Grappa, which is a beautiful city in northern Italy, where they make Grappa. It is a small town and they have a grappa museum. It was good to see, because I did not know how grappa is made. In earlier days it was the poor man's drink, because it is made from grape pomace, meaning the skins and seeds. Basically the leftovers of the winemaking process. This pomace ...

The soil changed from black to brown in short distances (seemingly with slope heights).

Kötelező körök Velencében
... teljesen rossz oldalán lyukadtunk ki... na mindegy, azért szép volt. Innen már hamar eljutottunk a Szt Márkra, ahol volt szerencsénk belebotlani a híres aqua alta-ba.... turisták áradata, akik normálisan a Szt Márk téren oszlanának el, néhány fapallón nyomorognak harminc centivel a talpközépig érő víz felett. Rettenetes a tömegnyomor a sóhajok hídja előtt is, amit ráadásul, mint a székesegyházat is, felújítanak. ( A válság óta Európában mindent ...
