When the Rooster Crows at 4 am

… then you are on the Agritourismo Alba near the ancient town Monselice and south of the second oldest university in Europe Padua.

In fact, at 4 am in the morning he starts to crow and has two more buddies to join him. His colleagues from the next yard answer. Sleep is over for the next 1.5 hours. Then the haunting is over and we sleep in the morning hours until 9:30am. While it is so beautiful, Monteselice with its medieval center worth seeing and the Euganean Hills worth a visit, we stay for two days.

Artichoke hearts produce a lot of biomass.
Fillippo, owner, cook, camping attendant of Agritourismo La Strateda 350 m above Cesena cooks four times a week in the evening for his guests and gives everything. We eat everything.

With Stephanie, the German lady who emigrated to Great Britain, Steven, the Scotsman, Ivonne and Eric from Holland, a funny community come together in the evening. There is a lot of philosophizing about politics, Brexit, freedom and peace.

The next day we meet Ursula and Hanspeter from Switzerland and have another cozy evening. We share our wanderlust. They have hiked a lot as backpackers overseas and are now getting to know Europe with their camper. It makes us forget the bad weather. We sit in the cozy parlour by fireplace while it rains continuously outside.

Breakfast in continuous rain in the Wifi zone. Unfortunately not completely waterproof.
We had nothing of the promised view – camping in the clouds for two days.

Peace! This flag can be seen on so many houses along the way. It accompanies us on our journey !
