Day 21 to Arfanta

After the long day yesterday I cheated a bit on the way to Arfanta: I took the bus from Belluno to Corbanese and walked only 2 hr to the next destination “Agriturismo Le Noci“. Not being any longer in the high mountain area, it really gets hot in Italy: Having 34°C outside you’ll sweat like hell, especially when carring a heavy backpack on the up & down alleys inbetween the many vineyards. But it was such a lovely walk in this region where the original Prosecco comes from, always next to the Prosecco vines and beautiful Italian-styled farm houses. I wish I could own sth like this and have a little B&B-place here 😉 Once arriving at the nicest place so far – the “Agriturismo Le Noci” – I met the others who walked all the way from Belluno and it seems that taking the bus was the right decision: they said this was the worst hike of them all due to paths in very bad conditions. Anyway, I will for sure come back to “Le Noci” for some days of vacation, it is such a lovely place – totally in the middle of its own vineyards, offering their own wine and Prosecco, having the best organic dishes, super friendly hosts, waking up by a rooster call, and jumping in the pool to get awake. No wonder why we are all pretty tardily getting ready to continue our way to Venice… 😉
