We woke up early, and took turns eating breakfast downstairs. We tried to get an early start, but Hadleigh was sleeping so well we didn’t want to wake her. We got on the road at about 1000, only to find out that as we checked out breakfast was not included in our hotel rate and was 12 euro per person. I was furious, of course. I hardly ate 12 euro worth of food since I had eaten 2 rolls, a hard boiled egg and a cup of tea. Dave paid the dude and I stormed out to the car.
We drove down to Garmisch, took a break and then through the Alps into Austria and down into Italy. Between Hadleigh and traffic we managed to arrive in Padova at around 1700, and then we drove around Padova before locating our hotel at about 1900.
Driving in Italy is insanity, if you can avoid it, do so. Our hotel was wonderful, we had a wonderful Paduan dinner with a great 14 euro bottle of wine. Italians know how to do wine…wowee.
