Beck Family Vacation: Italy! Day two in the Alps/Dolomites/Badia, Italy.
Today we drove 10 minutes to a bakery. This area is highly German influenced so we got apple strudel and some German pretzels (and some other treats for later). We drove just a couple of minutes to our hiking location. The views were amazing right from the parking lot!
We sat on a bench and enjoyed our breakfast strudel:
Ready to hike:
Along the trail:
The trail signs were nice to have but the trail was really very easy to follow:
There were quite a few snails along the trail:
We’ll call him ‘Scooter’:

We enjoyed our German pretzels at a beautiful picnic area down from the waterfall. We relaxed here for awhile and enjoyed the rest and the views:
We really relaxed!
Time to head back the rain is coming:
We saw a pent up herd of sheep, goats, and a donkey:
The water is the clearest stream water we’ve ever seen:
It rained a tiny bit but it didn’t really stop us:
We were having a good time obviously!:
The clouds were clearing:
There were pretty flowers along the way:
A statue memorial:

We had a wonderful day with spectacular views!:
This strong flowing stream was beside the trail almost the whole way. We had a wonderful day today in the beautiful Dolomites!
