Beck Family Vacation: Italy! Day Seven Dolomites/Alps/Auronzo, Italy.
Dad caught mom’s cold so we slept in and took it a little easy today. Of course we stopped at the bakery for breakfast and bread for later. Then we drove 30 minutes to Lago Di Landro, a pretty lake:
Ready for an easy hike:
We followed a 3 mile trail around the lake. We of course had some adventures along the way. Rachel was trying to teach Lizzy the Wizard of Oz skip.
I think she’s got it!
Making our way around the lake. The lake was a beautiful blue-green color and the mountains in the background were so pretty.
Flowers everywhere and several of the make a wish kind (more on that later):
We had to jump across flooding on the trail quite a few times:
Leaping Lizzy!
Even on a cloudy day it’s beautiful!:
Alpine Clamatis:
Any guesses on her wish?:
It’s funny . . .
They both wished for a Taco Bell!
Valeriana everywhere along the trail:
A relaxing hike is nice too:
Lots of Barberry too:
Another leap across the water:
Of course Lizzy must climb something!:
The actress is far from scared:
The other side of the lake:
Uh oh, major flooding across the trail:
We made our own detour on the brushy ledge:
She said she was playing Moses, except there was absolutely no parting of the water we had to work for this crossing:
We watched some swans and other fowl swimming in the lake:
Nap time:
Getting smarter every second with Dad’s glasses:
Lizzy wasn’t done resting so she caught a ride:
The water in Italy is so clear!:
We are on the other end of the lake:
Not much farther:
Back at the lake:
End trail pic:
After the hike we went back to the Airbnb and Sullivan took a nap while the girls all went off shopping around town. Of course we had some Gelato; perhaps the last of of trip (we’ll see 
). Dinner was also an experience because of our lack of understanding of the Italian language:
The portions were huge!
