North Italy holiday: Treviso 6 June

Monday, 6 June
Today we had to leave Sud Tirol/Alto Adige and move on. However, we will return here for the great wines and the relaxing atmosphere. 
But new interesting areas are waiting for us. First we travel through the scenic Dolomites. 

We definitely aren't the only ones at the Manghen pass (2047m): 90% bikers  

This is our home for this nite: Villa Zane, near Treviso. The owner and his family still live here, he rents only 3 rooms to guests, to keep the intimate atmosphere. 
The garden is simply purrrfect, our room a bit small and rustic (hardly any electricity points to load phones, laptop, etc). Oh well, one cannot have it all.

 

We visit Treviso town: it's very warm today (30 C) so we walk from shade to shade.
One of the highlights of Treviso is the San Nicolo Dominican church, which has many wonderful frescos. Couldn't stop making photos. 

 frescos in the San Nicolo (on the left S. Christopher, the saint of all the travellers and top right San Nicolo (i.e. our Sinterklaas)

soo many awesome frescos had to include in this blog post :-) 

 Treviso is a small city with several rivers and a lot of bridges: little Venice.

We had dinner at Trattoria Caprese, which is situated in the university area. My pasta wasn't what I expected it to be. When I told the waiter that I didn't like their pasta con vongole They replaced it with a version that was indeed good, however, I already finished eating by then

Palazzo dei Trecento, next to the Piazza dei Signori. We will have a drink at the cafe in the background.

at bar Beltrame. And I definitely do NOT want to be on a picture!

A large group of people is eating pizza's next door with children playing on the piazza like Peter did when he was their age: running, cycling and moving in all directions with all kind of competitions. Fun to watch.

Our home at nite.
