Not sure if I have or haven't said it so I will say it again. Astrids sister married a very wealthy Italian man. They live North of Venice for about 3 hours in the mountains of Italy. There they own a 5 star hotel. Every summer astrid goes and stays with them for a month to visit and such. We did have plans for her to come and do Rome with me in the beginning, however she asked her sister if I could come up her for a few days and just hangout with them and stay at the hotel and they said yes.
So I met astrid and her sister at the train station and we spent the day in Venice , walking around and they did a little shopping. At 5 we caught a bus going back to their hotel in the mountains. We got to the hotel at 8 and had supper with the family.
OH MY GOD supper was amazing!! The chefs gave us a set menu and you got to choose your appetizer and main. I chose a potato starter and the main was beef in a Chardonnay sauce with vegetables. WOW best meal I have had on my trip hands down. It is a 5 star hotel though with some of the best chefs so not surprised that the meal was amazing as it was.
Me and Astrid went and sat in our room which over looks the mountains too by the way! We sat on the balcony and had a few drinks then decided it was time to call it quits and went to bed.
It was only +30 today so I was actually able to put my hair down!
