187. Exciting day in the Dolomites and travel tips

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.
