Since in Italy we had off on all saints day, it was a 4 day weekend for us. A girl, denise from our residence here invited us to come visit her in her hometown.

The greatdanevine is always to be trusted, just like a dog’s nose – isn’t that right ...

We decided against the cable car as well as it was a foggy rainy day, and we would only get a lovely view of white, white and more white. So Otzi was the only tourist attraction that earned our tourist dollars today!
