If I would not consult the map, I would barely noticed the border crossing, because there was no passport control on neither of the Switzerland-Austria or Austria-Italy border. You will not really notice that you have left Switzerland either, unless you notice the prices on gas stations being suddenly in Euro. And you will definitely not notice you are in Italy for quite a some time as the villages will still look very German (or Austrian, if you wish), with signs in German (and often in gothic Schwabach letters). This region – <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trentino-Alto_Adige/S%C3%BCdtirol" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">south Tirol aka Sud-Tirol aka Trentino – Alto Adige</a> – is ethnically and historically part of Austrian empire and is part of Italy for less than 100 years.</p> https://miroadamy.com/posts/2007-08-20-europe-2007-3/ Mon, 20 Aug 2007 11:22:48 +0800 https://miroadamy.com/posts/2007-08-20-europe-2007-3/ <h1 class="relative group">Europe 2007 - 3: Pisa, Tirrenia and Firenze <div id="europe-2007---3-pisa-tirrenia-and-firenze" class="anchor"></div> <span class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 -start-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100 select-none"> <a class="text-primary-300 dark:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#europe-2007---3-pisa-tirrenia-and-firenze" aria-label="Anchor">#</a> </span> </h1> <h2 class="relative group">Pisa and Firenze <div id="pisa-and-firenze" class="anchor"></div> <span class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 -start-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100 select-none"> <a class="text-primary-300 dark:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#pisa-and-firenze" aria-label="Anchor">#</a> </span> </h2> <p>After wonderful evening in Verona, the next day after a very good breakfast (they even had whole-wheat breads), we spend few hours in the garden of the hotel and taking pictures of the peacocks and around 10:30 we left towards the coast, south and the leaning tower.</p>
