Today was our last full day and we spent it going up to the of Marmolada and learning about the history of the World War 1 front line "battle of the peaks". It is such a fascinating place!
 |
| This part of the mountain was riddled with tunnels, caves and lookouts that you could go in and explore (which we did) |

| Sasso Lungo, which is my favorite mountain of the area |
After spending a good few hours exploring and marveling at Marmolada, we came down and stopped for a gelato at this hotel. Since it was early afternoon, all the shops were closed and we ourselves had a bit of a siesta too

We did some shopping in the late afternoon and had a final beer and sausages at the cafe we went to on the first day, then packed up ready to leave first thing in the morning.
It's been an amazing trip and we are already talking about coming back another time hopefully soon. Maybe even find a way to bring the kids next time?
