Listen Later

In this episode, Kimberly and Tommaso share stories from their trip to the Dolomites, including a visit to Sterzing’s Christmas market, a somewhat harrowing yet comical drive, and a hotel that doubled as a hair salon.

Key Points:



  • Road trip: The hosts recount driving to the village of Sterzing near the Austrian border.

    • 
Architectural and Cultural Highlights:

    • Sterzing’s Charm: Noting the shift in architecture with a Germanic, Austrian feel.

    • Christmas Market: Highlighting the non-commercial, authentic feel of the market.

      • 
Culinary Experiences:

      • 
Aromatic Market: The scents of onions and “worst” (German version of a hot dog) filled the air.

      • Food Purchases: Buying honey, wine, cheese, and dried meat for friends.

        • 
Scenic Route Gone Wrong:

        • Back Roads: What seemed pretty on Google Maps turned into a nerve-wracking drive.
        • Driving incident: The hosts recount a hit and run that turned into a very memorable exchange with the driver.

          • 
Hotel Mishap in Treviso:

          • Hair Salon Hotel: Kimberly booked a hotel that was also a hair salon but turned out to be a fine stay with very helpful staff.


            • Final Thoughts:


            • The hosts learned a lot and hope you did too!
              • Teasing a future episode about Treviso.
