… neither will want to return home, for they’ll experience the greatest things while out and about…”

The magnificent mountain panorama bathed in sunlight, the rustic alpine cabins, and the tasty Italian food kept a permanent smile on our faces. And when we got a view of Lake Garda from afar, we were as proud as punch. A wonderful experience that my son and I will likely never forget. The next joint trip is already planned, but the destination is not ready to be revealed yet. Yet one thing is definitely certain: we’ll be back on our bikes, heading south over the Alps.
