- WOW, Italy is GORGEOUS! We spent the first day of our two week Italy trip in the Dolomites at three of the most beautiful spots we have ever laid on our eyes on: Lago di Braies, Tre Cime di Lavaredo, & Lago di Sorapis. From a beautiful sunrise, snacks at a refugio, beating crowds, 360 degree views, and even a hiking mishap, this was one of the most memorable days of our lives and the best way to kick off our trip!

I love Italy and Europe in general. I live in California and have been to Italy twice. Once with my best friend and once with my husband. Very blessed to be able to travel.
Italy is one of our happy places!
So glad you hit the Dolomites! One of our favorite spots in the world!
It’s now one of our favorites in the world too! So amazing!!!
A reason why the Pragser Lake (Lago di Braies) is so popular right now is because an Italian TV series is filmed there. Since it is broadcasted even in other countries (Austria and Germany for sure) it has been seeing a raise in popularity as a tourist venue. Easy to understand why it was chosen 😉 breathtakingly beautiful.
Ooo what’s the name of the show? and it’s absolutely beautiful!
@@AdventuresofAplusK it's called Un Passo dal Cielo (A step away from Heaven). Unfortunately I don't think it has been broadcasted in English speaking countries but you can easily find videos of it on YT.
Cool! We will have to look this up! They sure picked a great place to film 🤗
OMG! That lake! Totally worth the hike☺️
100% worth it! I kept telling Adam “if it’s anything like the photos online, it’ll be worth it!” So glad we didn’t give up!
Beautiful!!! Bless you guys. ❤
Thanks so much for these videos, love your enthusiasm. I’m an ancient hiker and traveler, lost my sweetheart to cancer, but still traveling and hiking solo, not quite the same but still so wonderful. Excited to do the Dolomites!
We are so sorry for your loss! ❤️ The Dolomites are absolutely magical and we hope you have an amazing time!
Que Bella Que Bella!
Incredible videos!
I just cried when I first opened your video. It’s always been my dream to go to Italy 🇮🇹
And here you both are taking me there !
How fantastic the waters look!
Three Pillars was awesome and the lake at the top of the Mountain was breathtaking!
I’m excited about the next trip!
Ahhhh we are so glad we can virtually take you there! We have SO many more vlogs coming your way (including one tomorrow!). 💗💗💗
Awesome, awesome, awesome views!!! I will say it again...I'm so happy I get to see places I would not even know about because of your vlogs...THANK YOU!
You’re so welcome! We have learned of SO many places because of others vlogs and we are happy to spread the word about spots we go to! 💕
I've watched a bunch of your recent videos, but just discovered this one which is amazing because the Dolomites is on my very short international travel bucket list. Most times when I mention it to people they have no idea what I'm talking about, so it was really great to see this and add it to the reservoir of information for future planning!
The Dolomites are still our favorite place we have ever been! We hope you can make it there soon, it’s truly incredible 😍
Thank you thank you thank you for this wonderful video and all the others from Italy. I really enjoyed all your videos mostly because it wasn't about Instagram photos ... or outfit of the day etc. Wonderful information. Keep it up! I'm really considering adding this area now to our Italy (10 year anniversary trip) this upcoming summer.
Thank you so much Jennifer! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed our Italy videos! We had so much fun making them 🙌🏼 We would HIGHLY recommend adding this to your Italy trip! Even if it’s for just one very long day trip, it’s totally worth it!
Tre Cime is UNREAL!
Absolutely epic there!
I cant'believe you did all 3 places in one day :D I'm seriously impressed! And one of them was route 117 to Sorapis :D That gives you bonus points! I'm from Italy and I loved your vlog, I can't wait to go back to my mountains.
We can't wait to go back! It is one of our favorite places in the world!
We are headed to the Dolomites this Sunday (staying in Ortisei!) and are SO. EXCITED. We have looked at countless videos of the area over the past two years in preparation - but your videos are the first ones that really made this feel REAL for us! Almost shed a tear just watching - and we haven't even been there yet. Your production quality is excellent, and just overall very enjoyable to watch - thanks for sharing!
Ahhh this makes us soooo happy! Not going to lie, we almost cried multiple times while there 😭😍. It’s absolutely magical and one of our favorite places we have ever been!!! Ortisei is amazing and I’m not sure if you saw our video from there, but we loved that area! Thank you so much for the sweet comment and we hope you have the best time ever!
PS: my middle name is Noelle. Such an awesome name!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Oh yes, we've watched the Ortisei video several times! :) Seceda is truly a bucket list item for us, so we can hardly wait! Thank you again for sharing, and we'll continue to watch where your travels take you!
Get ready to be like this the whole time: 😍😍😍😍!
Awsome video. So happy for you guys!!!!!
Thank you! 😃😃😃
This area looks beautiful! Great video.
By far one of the most beautiful places we have ever visited!
You guys are my new favourite CZcams channel ! If that’s just the first day can’t wait for the rest ! Brought back some memories for me I visited that area as a child , by the way what did you think of Norwegian air ? I use them a lot on transatlantic flights 👍
You’re so sweet Oliver! Thank you for the kind words! 🤗 Norwegian was great! Minus not getting to sit together (our own cheap fault haha) we had zero complaints! The plane was super nice and the free meal was pretty tasty too 🙌🏼
Cool video guys! That scenery looks absolutely incredible, didn't know an international drivers license even existed lol that's some pretty helpful knowledge
We are so glad our friends told us! I was more worried about making sure we got an automatic car and totally didn’t even think to research laws!
You need one week, better two, to see all the best of the Dolomiti....they are awesome and IMO the best mountains in the world as for the scenery they can offer....
Agreed! We could easily spend a whole month there! Our favorite place!
bellissimo video. complimenti ciao
Grazie Claudio!
I can’t believe this kind of place actually exists 😍 thanks for sharing guys! New subscriber here and I am on a binge watching all of your videos.
The Dolomites are the most magical place we have ever been! 😍😍 Thank you so much for following along and we hope you enjoy the vlogs!
I've heard nothing but great things about the dolomites glad you two had an opportunity to visit
We can’t wait to go back!
Wow those places are stunning!
The Dolomites are so so stunning! We say "favorite place" a lot, but it truly is one of our top ones!
@@AdventuresofAplusK definitely going to visit it! Was feeling a bit sad today but ur videos cheer me up 🙏🏼 Don’t mind me binge watching ur Italy series I love them n u guys so much 😍❤️
That makes us so happy to hear! We hope your day continues to get better! ❤️
Lovely video. I’d really love to go to Dolomites maybe I might go this year. Thanks for sharing this interesting place. 😃😍
The Dolomites are breathtaking! We couldn't recommend them more!
Do you guys ever sit still? The more I see of you, the more I am impressed at all you are doing? Enjoy!
We like to travel ☺
After 4 years around Dolomites, I would say that it was completely madness to do those 3 in one day. If you really want to enjoy and to taste every km you do around Tre Cime or Sorapis, guys you need a separate day for each one. You missed so much, like Lago di Misurina or Croda dei Toni or Cima Undici, lot of smaller lakes or waterfalls, very beautiful view points, especially if you go back from Sorapis to Passo Tre Crocci. You have basically choose to do 2 National Parks in one day, which is insane. Not sure where have you slept, but Cortina and Monte Cristallo are super beautiful it self. Pictures are awesome, really great work but i think that you should go back one more time to Dolomites and do it slower.
We definitely will come back and go slower! We only had two days in the Dolomites and wanted to see as much as we could. There’s obviously lots we missed out on, but we are so glad we got to see as much as we did!
Hi guys, found your channel while looking for Dolomites videos as wife and I will be taking our first Europen trip to Italy first week of September. Been watching your Italy vids and have been taking notes. We’re going to start our journey north of Italy and work our way down to Amalfi coast. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber! Love the vids! I will def watch all your other vids! Greetings from Chicago.
That's so awesome! We hope y'all have a great trip! Be sure to check the description of our videos. We list where we went and what we did there.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Just found your channel. I will be following your adventures. My husband and I live in Southeast Alaska. It is my dream to travel to Italy and really want to hike in the Dolomites. We are avid hikers and plan vacations around hikes. We are planning a trip to Italy in the next year and half.
Hi Andrea! Alaska is very high on our list of places to go! We hear it’s so beautiful there. The Dolomites are absolutely stunning and we hope you get to go soon! 🤗
Your video make me proud to live here in Italy
That is the best compliment we could receive! 💗
Never been to it Italy but now I really want to go!
It is the BEST!!!
Hey Nice Video. Keep it up guys. ALmost planning my trip to Dolomites in Septemeber end.
Ahhh nice! We hope to publish a guide soon with tons of tips from our trip. If you have any questions, let us know!
I love all your Italy trip videos. I am planning to visit in 2024. 😊
Awesome! Thanks! Check out our website as well where we have written guides for the Dolomites and other places in Italy. We can be more detailed in our written content 😊
Running out of water sucks! We bought one of those water filter kits for our last trip. It is super small and lightweight and allows you to only take 1 or 2 bottles (depending on whether you share) and then refill them in the rivers/lakes. Saves a ton of water weight in the bag!
It is the worst!!! We have a 3L camelbak, but forgot to fill it up. We need to carry our filter even for day hikes. Definitely learned our lesson haha
u inspired me to go to Lago di Sorapis next year! I think us Germans don't really appreciate how fast we can actually fly into places like Italy, France, the UK and so on... I always dream about living in the US as the landscape is just so awesome, but Europe actually has many nice lakes and coastlines or mountains as well, u need to check out Plitvice Lakes in Croatia!
Croatia is my #1 place I want to visit next in Europe! (Although, I would gladly go anywhere!) We are very jealous how easily people can get to other countries and beautiful landscapes in Europe!
Finally I got to watch your video with snow outside my window. Only 1" but better than nothing. Always a quality video, editing has to be a challenge at times. You always make it so natural. 👍👍5🏍🙋♂️
That's awesome! Thank you so much!
Hi ! Just found y'alls channel. I'm from SA. Yall make a great vlogging team! Just subbed !
Thank you so much!!! And hi from Austin! 👋🏼
Loving your channel.
Thanks a bunch Don!
We are returning to the Dolomites next summer. One thing I thought was funny was you talking about the thunderstorms. There’s always thunderstorms in the forecast there during the summer. Nice video. Looking forward to going back to the dolomites. It’s probably my favorite place in the world. We’re staying for a week in the town of Selva
Sounds amazing! We hope you have a great trip!
Amazing video
Thank you so much! 🤗
I loved seeing this video. I don’t think I will ever get there. But I agree with you my favorite kind of mountains are the rocky jagged ones. That is why my favorite mountain range is the Tetons. I did what you did on with not having enough water on hike to Hidden falls near Jenny Lake. We ended up not getting to see it in person yet.
We love the Tetons as well! The rocky, jagged peaks are just so dramatic! Running out of water is the worst and thankfully we have learned our lesson from this one!
Love that you took the Austin to Gatwick direct flight with Norwegian. It’s my fav!
Soooo thankful Austin has that flight! Can’t wait to take it again someday when we can leave the US!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I know, right?!!! It's 5 minutes further for me to fly out of Austin vs Houston IAH. Worth every minute. Such a nicer drive with less traffic and Bergstrom is just such a nice airport. I really hope that Norwegian keeps flying and we keep this flight. Air Canada also started routes out of Austin before 2020 went nuts.
We loooove ABIA! It’s the perfect size and we love the focus on local restaurants and businesses inside!
Great video :)
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
Discovered your channel this week and I have been watching it non stop lately lol you guys are so sweet and cute 💘
Ahhh thank you so much for watching!💕🥰
I REALLY like your channel!!! It is ABSOLUTELY AWSOME! You are a great couple and I love your vlogging, it is very useful! I just subscribed and can't wait to check ALL of your videos!! Grettings from Croatia!
Thank you so much!!! And Croatia is my top destination I want to visit in Europe! 😍 Hoping to make it there this year!
The Dolomites are my favorite place on earth. Did you visit Lake Garda?
Agreeeeed! And not this trip, but cannot wait to go back!
I am going to verify the wheat and dairy thing. I have been to an allergist and an endocrinologist in the USA for my wheat allergy. I had a blood test for gluten (not allergic) and the wheat plant (yes allergic) and surprisingly I have not had a problem eating wheat in Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, and Slovenia, so far. Going to Venice in August and will eat all the bread. Hoping it goes well there also.
Wow, very inspirational, thank you for sharing! What dates were you visiting the dolomites? Best regards from Sweden!
Hi Henrik! This was the first week of July last year! We hope your visit your country someday 🤗
Thanks A+K
Awesome vlog! Wow I didn’t know Italy could look like that ☺️
Isn’t it wild?! We grew up thinking it was just old, beautiful cities and delicious food. The country is gorgeous!
my job takes through out the world and italy and japan are my favourite countries in the world, im originally from south america and now living in canada. been to italy 7 times in the last 20 years.
Wow, that’s amazing! Canada is also one of our favs!
@@AdventuresofAplusK go from alberta to british colombia if you like mountains
@@littlebigjohn69 We lived in Seattle for 3 years and visited BC often, as well as Banff. Both are stunning!
Two things. Just started watching this playlist . We have done the Canadian Rockies and the Jungfrau Region of Switzerland recently and have this next on the list .
And I am curious do you use a gumball?
The Canadian Rockies are AMAZING! And the Dolomites reminded us so much of them (especially Lago di Sorapis!) Just googled the Jungfrau region of Switzerland and we cannot wait to make it there someday! 😍
Hi guys, great video! What month of the year did you visit? Thanks
Mid July! Thanks and thanks for watching!
We are basically taking the same trip as you! We will be there april 30th - may 4th Dolomites and then Venice ! So your videos have helped so much! What time of year did you go?
I’m worried about the trails being closed .. I don’t mind cold but if it’s closed , then I can’t change that. Hoping things will be opened🤞
What''s the name of the lake? Looks absolutely gorgeous! That lake was the bomb!! So blue! Did you come back on 215? What time of the year did you go? Beautiful views all over. Thanks!
It is called Lago di Sorapis and it is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been! We ended up going the same way there and back just to make sure we didn't get lost. Next time we will try a different route and bring more water haha (and also not attempt both hikes in one day!)
Such great videos! Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Quick question, when you said you went out early in the Dolomites and also Venice, how early is early? My wife is also sensitive to gluten. We noticed several times in the video you mentioned that European wheat did not bother Kathryn. Did you have to take enzymes in order to eat the bread and pasta in Italy or were you able to eat without problems?
Hey Wesley! Our biggest tip for popular places is get there at or right after sunset. We started exploring Venice for the day at sunrise and had St. Mark's Square almost to ourselves for over an hour. Same with the Dolomites. Get out there as early as you can.
Kathryn did take enzymes for most of the trip. They use a different type of wheat over there that didn't bother her as much.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Hey guys! I started from the 2 part video and then came into here. Dolomites looks like anything else. I wish I can have the opportunity to see that. At what season do you guys got there?
We were there in mid-August so late summer, I suppose! Thanks for watching!
Nice video! Quick questions: Is Banff nicer or Dolomites? and is your car automatic? Thanks!! Going to Dolomites next month!
Ooof that’s a tough question!!! I think the charming towns in the Dolomites gives it a slight edge for us, but they are both absolutely stunning! And yup, we had an automatic rental car! We recommend not getting the cheapest car because ours didn’t fit all of our luggage in the trunk and it barely could get up the mountain lol! 🙈
Lago di braies is the location of a popular tv show in italy...
We just learned that recently! We didn’t know that!
What time do you have to arrive to take the Lake picture. It was epic!
VERY early. Early as possible
I love
Thanks Georgio! 🥰
Hey guys!! Amazing video. You made us plan the same trip..!!! What is the time of the year to visit dolomites? You went during summer?
This was very early July!
So weird....I read your, I think, blog first and recognised some of the comments from this video to the blog 😂😂
Hahaha we definitely are consistent with our wording sometimes 🤣
And are you rocking Wandrd backpack's? If so we also think they are great.
We are! We only have one right now, but LOVE it and hope to upgrade our second backpack to one soon. It holds soooo much stuff! Only downside is no camelback pouch/hole for the straw to come through, but other than that it’s perfect.
Hi! my partner and I are planing on going to the Dolomites soon and this video was super useful so, thanks! Also, coud you tell us how long did you stay at those 3 places? (aproximately). We are thinking on doing this same itinerary but are affraid to not be able to stay long enough to appreciate in each spot. Thanks again!
Hi! Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful!
We have a detailed post on our website of the itinerary we'd recommend for the area. Hope that helps!
adventuresofaplusk.com/4-days-in-the-dolomites/
Wonderful and very informative video! I plan to do exactly the same in August. When did you start the day to allow enough time?
We got to the first lake around 5:30 AM! We were there maybe an hour and then headed straight to Tre Cime! We ended up finishing the last hike around 5:30 PM I think. It was a very long day, but soooo worth it!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Thanks for the quick reply. Good to know for our planning. It's going to be challenging for my family :-)
It was a bit tough haha, we were exhausted by the end of the day! If we were to re-do it we would've done the two big hikes on two different days.
You haven't seen Passo stelvio (in German Stilfser Joch). Or visit Verona, hometown of Romeo and Juliet just near Venice!
We need to go back! 🙌🏼
What is the name of the music at 13:06? I totally know what it's like to be without water in Italy. In my first trip (out of 12 trips), I passed out (to my embarrassment) at the Original Al Freddo's in Rome (original owner invented Fettucini Al Freddo) because I had not drank enough water during the long day of walking all over Rome. So, I rushed to get dress for dinner, didn't drink water, and just went to the restaurant. When I got there all I kept telling my friends was, "water, water, water....." then I passed out! I was so embarrassed, but after that I drank a ton of water throughout the days I was there. Love your shots of the lake - GORGEOUS (like everything in Italy)! Thanks.
Hi! It’s a song called Smile a While from Epidemic Sound (where we get our music!). And oh my gosh that sounds so scary! We aren’t the best at staying hydrated 😬 and it’s scary when you run out and are soooo thirsty! But it sounds like we both learned our lesson and will drink tons of water now haha!
Thank you so much for the song name - I've already downloaded it and started a new playlist, thanks to you! I love it! It's sound so much like something I would be dancing to at a club I used to go to in Firenze (Florence) called Space Electronic where I would dance till I drop. Did you get a chance to go to it when you were in Florence?Yep, I passed out and thank God one of my friends was a nurse so she was able to bring me back. The waiters were in a panic and I reassure them that it had nothing to do with the restaurant, especially because we hadn't even begun eating. But boy, did I drink A LOT of water when I came to! Please remember always to carry a bottle of water. Thanks again!
Oh wow, we're glad you were ok! We love to dance like crazy at our friend's weddings lol. We did not go there while we were there, but that sounds really fun!
Thank you for replying! Yep, I passed out and I was mortified! Especially since everyone was hovering over me when I came to. There's more to that story, if you're interested I'll tell you (actually funny!).Oh yeah, Space Electronics was the BEST club I went to in Italy! Especially its entrance to the main dance floor. Unbelievable! Ciao!
AWWW so inspiring. love y'all videos..I am looking into flights and covid requirements now...LOL wish me luck
Thank you so much! We sooo wish we could get back to Italy right now!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I just looked. Not open to the US citizens yet...but when it does..they better watch out i am coming full speed 😁 Thank you for the full video of the 2 week trip. I appreciate it very much.
Hahahaha I don’t blame ya!
What beautiful views! I agree that you guys are rising fast in the rank of the top youtubers! How long of a drive was it from Venice to the Dolomites? We went to Venice last year and I wish we would have done this instead of going to Pisa.
You’re so sweet, thank you so much! 💕 It was about a 4 hour drive with some traffic to the area we stayed in (Ortisei in South Tyrol) and the majority of the drive was STUNNING! 😍
Adventures of A plus K maybe one day hubby and I can go back and include going here. First, Hawaii is booked! Can’t wait!
Yes, that would be incredible! Yay for Hawaii! Which island?
@@AdventuresofAplusK Oahu! That is how I started watching you guys. I was looking for HI videos. So glad I found your channel!!
Ah so sorry! This somehow got flagged and I just now saw it and had to approve it. We hope you have an AWESOME time on Oahu! We are missing Hawaii sooo much and cannot wait to get back to the islands in a few months!
Hi guys, nice video. Looking at Dolomites for our next European advanture...2021..Love the natural beauty of that place. What other destinations were on your itinerary? Trying to figure out a route, possibly starting in Paris, sweep down into North of Italy. Thanks.
We did the Dolomites, Venice, Matera, Positano, Rome, and Florence! It was incredible and we highly recommend it! 🙌🏼
Adventures of A plus K Ooh very nice. Have been to those places (wonderful) except Matera, Dolomites...lived in Florence about a year back in the 90's. Love Italy. Always like going back, and adding new places. :)
Wow that’s incredible! We’d love to spend a long period of time in Italy! Highly recommend Matera. It was very cool, less touristy, and has an interesting history. The Dolomites and Matera were my favorite stops!
Adventures of A plus K Italy is so wonderful, have a sense of comfort when I get there. Your videos are great...was showing my wife just now. Thanks.
Thanks so much Colin!
Awesome awesome vlog guys. When you're in Florence if you have time head to a town called Vecchio and go to La Casa Matta restaurant 👌👌👌
Thank you Glenn for the recommendation! I’ll look at our schedule and see if we have time to sneak away there. We can’t wait to go to Florence! 🎉🇮🇹
@@AdventuresofAplusK no worries I know it's difficult when you're on a time crunch 👍👍
We could easily spend months here! So much to see and do!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I know exactly what you mean I can't wait to go back one day. It's so beautiful
May I ask which month did u two hike dolomites and how is the weather cause I’m going there this September
It would be helpful if you could answer me
This was in July. The weather in July from 3 years ago might not help you very much for your trip. I’d recommend checking the weather forecasts and packing layers and a variety of options so you’re prepared for the conditions 😊
I also have gluten issues. Did they say why you don’t have issues in Italy? Also, did you take the pill while there or did you not even need them? I have IBS and am worried about the lack of bathrooms in Italy and running into some trouble if you know what I mean. Lol.
Hahaha I totally know what you mean! And you have to pay to use the bathroom in Italy, so make sure you have some coins! I think it’s due to a protein that is not in the gluten there which is in American gluten. I took a gluten digestive enzyme for a few days and then just experimented with what happened and I felt fine! Well, minus how stuffed I felt from how much we ate. But my issues aren’t horribly severe.
From which supplier did you get the car ? Was the car model fine during the trip or was it somehow small and doesn’t fit luggage ?
We rented a SMART car and we highly recommend not doing that. It was not capable enough for the mountainous terrain and there was very little room for luggage. Good luck!
Around what time in the morning was it when you visited Lago Di Braies? I’m going soon and I’d like to be there with the least possible amount of people
I don’t remember the exact time, but it was right before sunrise in July.
Thanks for video very much I will suggest you to visit swiss, french and bavarian alps that is heaven on earth 🌎 😀 😊 😍
Hopefully one day! Thanks for watching!
Could you guys please tell me the soundtrack you were using throughout this vid?
Hi, we don't know the exact songs anymore, but we used Epidemic Sound back then.
Hi, congrats about the video!!
Im doing the same trip as you.
Which car rental did you get? And how much did you pay ?
thanks!!
I don't remember how much it was. It was several years ago, but I'll never forget the car. It was a smart car and it was the worst car to have driving on mountain roads 😂 make sure you get a suitable car for the conditions!
Good luck with your trip!
Dans le jeu farcry primal se sont inspirés sûrement de cette région et des tre cime di lavaredo 😉
Question about the water. Do you know if it is illegal or not to filter from the lake? I always pack a katadyn water filter on all my hikes and filter from water sources as I go to help cut down on pack weight. Of course I pre-check to make sure there are sources and never came across anywhere where it was illegal.
That’s a super good question! To be honest, I am not totally sure. 😕 Hopefully someone else who watches this video can help answer!
Thank you for the reply. I’m trying to plan out a solo Dolomites trip and playing Frankenstein with info from multiple different blogs and videos. Thanks for the tip on the different trailheads.
Of course! Sorry we couldn’t help with the question! The Dolomites was by far the trickiest part of our trip to plan due to how many amazing areas there were, lots of information online to sift through, and the multiple languages spoken/names for everything. But it’s SO worth it!
Adventures of A plus K right?! Aren’t there some areas have observe like 3 different languages so there can be 3 different names for the same place? And it’s so expansive it’s like what “end” of the Dolomites do I choose? Or do I just save myself the headache and basically copy a full itinerary from a detailed blog so I don’t even have to think. Hahah.
Yes! Everything had three names, which made planning so challenging! We stuck to the areas on this vlog + Ortisei/Seceda and absolutely loved it. We’d love to go back and see more areas, but the four big spots we visited were stunning and we’d highly recommend it for a first trip! We have a 4 day guide on our site that includes those spots + a couple others (we only had 2 days) if you need help getting started! We definitely had to rush a bit and were exhausted after, so we made our guide longer than the time we had there. It was totally worth being exhausted though!
how did your tummy handle the apple cake? My wife Kris and I are binging your Italy videos. Italy is one of the locations we're writing about in our book.
What type of book are you writing?
And I felt totally fine eating all of the gluten-it rocked!!! I only felt bad from eating too much lol, but the myth that gluten sensitive people can eat gluten in Europe was true for me!
@@AdventuresofAplusK we are co-authoring a book we've titles Have Fate, Will Travel. It's a love story of sorts about an older couple from WW2 era that escape the war and fall in love. They spend their lives writing, traveling, and towards the end of their lives they want to share their love and lives in the form of a book that is basically a scavenger hunt of sorts. There is a second set of people that unbeknownst to them, are family friends of the older couple...we'll fill you in on the rest if you come thru Omaha. :)
WOW, that sounds like an amazing book! Can’t wait to hear more! 🙌🏼
Any places you suggest for accommodations?
We absolutely loved this Airbnb! www.airbnb.com/rooms/21638656 the hosts were amazing!
I'm going to London next year and I'm too nervous to drive there. How hard is it to drive? Is it confusing?
The scariest part for us driving in the UK was the roundabouts. That was confusing, but other than that it’s not bad. If you’re just doing London you could definitely get by without a car. We took the tube everywhere and only drove when we went to the isle of Skye in Scotland.
@@AdventuresofAplusK well I am not looking to stay in London but maybe a cute town nearby. But I did see the train is pretty easy. Thank you for letting me know.
Our friend told us that this Int’l drivers permit thing is a money making scam. We’ve never used a driving permit when driving in Italy. I hope it didn’t cost much! I don’t think they are required
Where did you guys stay while you were there?
Hi! We stayed at this Airbnb and couldn’t recommend it more! We normally don’t stay in someone’s house with them, but this couple was absolutely precious and so kind! abnb.me/tYQiSAGw60

Question! What time of year were you in the Dolomites?
We were there in August
Wow amazing how it wasn’t that crowded in august
Food in Europe seems so much healthier than in the us….
And much higher quality!
What is the pill you took for gluten??
Hi Bonnie! Just responded to your other comment, but here is the link here too!

Who planned your Europe road trip?
We do all of our own planning 😊
Bidet mistery
Anyone know how these areas are going to be during January?
Lago di Braies may be accessible in the winter since there is a hotel there, but Lago di Sorapis would likely be entirely covered in snow and I believe they close part of the road to Tre Cime in the winter too.
Adventures of A plus K oh I see thank u very much for answering! If part of the road to tre cime is closed, would it still be possible to access thru a different route? Thanks in advance!
@@kirbz4116 I believe there is only one main road to the top, but I do hear you can go snowshoeing and they have guides that can take you! I am sorry if that isn't more helpful :(
One cool thing you could visit in the snow in the Dolomites is Seceda. You can take a lift to the top and there is skiing, or you could just enjoy the views!
Adventures of A plus K no it was very helpful thank u very much for all the info and love the videos :)
I live near the area, dolomites during winter have many skiing location, you can still do hiking with "ciaspole" tough (i don't know the english term for them)
Good video! Looks beautiful and glad you
Made it to Italy safe. Please watch out for fake Euro bills there. I got scammed from a bank ATM in Ravello. Keep your ATM receipts in case. The locals will know if you bills are legit when you try to pay. Italy is beautiful but I swear I get scammed every time I go and I’ve gone 5 times.
That’s VERY good to know, thank you! We have had to get cash once since being here and finding a ATM that wouldn’t charge us an absurd fee was very hard!
Adventures of A plus K check the serial numbers on the bills. All the fake ones have the same number since they are scanned and printed. The locals can feel the paper and tell
It’s fake. That tells you how common it is . Your only recourse is to return the bills to the bank you got them from (with an ATM receipt) . Also....enjoy the limoncello!! 😋
This is such great info! I’ll definitely include this on our guides and we will keep an eye out! We hate having to carry cash here, but it has actually been needed way more than we thought!
Great video! There’s conflicting info about international drivers license. I’ve rented cars all over Europe and been stopped by police for speeding in Italy and France and no one has ever asked me for an international DL. Myth? I think so.
It may be a myth! But we didn’t want to take our chances 😬
To follow up on this (I have since remembered a bit more about our rental experience), I am 99% sure Avis required us to show the permit when we got the car. It may vary by rental car company!
I lied! International Driving permits are required in Italy! You can google how and where to get them, but don’t get scammed. I’ll tell my husband he needs to get with the 21st century next time we’re there!
Haha yes they are a thing. We got ours at a AAA in the US before we went. Don’t remember how much it cost, but probably 20 or less
Gosh, don't u know the word jetlag? Lol 😆
We didn’t have time to rest on this trip! We maybe got 4 hours a sleep everyday between trying to edit videos, work my day job at the time during some of it, and sight see 😅
@@AdventuresofAplusK that's what youth does for u. My 50ish body handles the jetkag a lot worse. I almost fell asleep while we were touring the Opera house in Vienna, had to sit on a couch while my daughter continues the tour.
