What started as a simple overnight stop became one of the biggest surprises of our Italian road trip!๐ฆ
After leaving Rimini and stopping in Bologna for lunch, we make our way north towards the Dolomites. Along the way we discover the beautiful medieval town of Esteโand completely fall in love with it.
From wandering its quiet piazzas and tasting incredible pistachio coffee to eating more gelato than we care to admit, Este quickly became our favourite town of the trip.
Join us as two South Africans exploring Italy in our campervan, experiencing culture shock, amazing food, and discovering places we never expected to love.
