This weekend we have planned our first holiday on a very special occasion: Jakob’s godmother Sandra turned 30 on Thursday and she wanted to celebrate it away from home in a surprise location selected by Flo. But not only that she was not aware of where they would spend the long weekend, she also did not know that we planned to surprise her there too. And so Kerstin and Markus got up early on Thursday morning transferring a sleeping Jakob into his car seat and set off towards South Tyrol at 0300. After having breakfast at the service station Hochfelln in Germany Jakob used for the first time the borrowed proper car seat instead of his MaxiCosi and clearly enjoyed the new visibility. Shortly after Innsbruck we stopped at McDonalds for some activity for our junior before we crossed the Brenner alongside many lorrys and headed through the puster valley towards our destination: Alta Badia.
One needs some action and activity during a long trip
Flo has booked the very nice family hotel Cavallino just by the church in Badia and as currently there is no real season (winter season is over and summer season has not started yet) we turned out to be the only guests which makes us feel like a part of the family here. The rooms are large, nice and newly decorated, the bar is open and offers both good espresso as well as Aperol Sprizz and we are enjoying a stunning view from our rooms. Once Sandra and Flo have arrived we did surprise her with a champagne, a cake and flowers and spent all Thursday afternoon together before heading across the street to the only restaurant that is open these days – the local pizzeria. We hit the bed early as our plans for Friday foresaw a hiking tour in the Dolomites.
Jakob, Kerstin & Markus
