B4 In Europe: Through The Alps And On To Italy
From EAW Marketing Director Karen Anderson
The B4 Roadshow team set off from Wolfach in the morning and drove south through the Black Forest and into the Swiss Alps. Absolutely gorgeous.
We didn't have an actual destination or any hotel reservations, but thanks to Bluetooth technology,we were able to hook into the Internet from the bus. Wiith Moray translating into Italian, we were able to find a hotel with six rooms available at the last minute. (May 1 is a national holiday in Italy so most everything was booked.)
The hotel is in a little town called Ispra, on Lake Maggiore in the Lombardy region of Italy. It took about eight hours to get there, as well as some expert driving from Werner as he navigated our 48-foot tour bus through mountain passes and narrow Italian hillside streets.
Our day off in Ispra included finding wireless Internet in the hotel lobby, and all of us doing some work while drinking espressos all morning. Once sufficiently jittery, we found the local laundromat and did some much needed laundry and then we took off to explore the town of Ispra and Lake Maggiore.
The town is beautiful - as have been most of the towns we've seen on this trip. Moray braved the frigid temps and swam in Lake Maggiore.
Later we went out for some of the best pizza I've ever had and Moray made pizza art (see the photo at the top of this post). I ate a pizza bigger than my head.
We've departed to Milan, with Smaart School scheduled for Wednesday (5/2) followed by Bootcamp on Thursday. Click here for the full schedule.
