Log Book - Bitburg 2011

Departure from Mormanno July 7, 2011

The adventure has begun!

At 14.00 we started on time! A crowded Piazza Umberto I of parents, it seemed the first day of school. For many of them is the first experience of their children abroad. Roberto, Alexandra, Vanessa, Veronica, Anthony, Charles Anthony, Carmine Marcello a nice group of young initiates to discover new cultures, traditions and music!

After a first stop at Sala Consilina, the caravan had caught his breath is about to reach Florence. There are many components that Miromagnum while working around Italy, the call can only answer "yes"! Strength: Anna, John, Louis can not wait to embrace you! The first to be embraced Anna and John were in Florence, then Luigi Parma. Louis, greeted us in the best possible way with the flavors of Emilia: Parmesan cheese and salami typical of Felino. For the drivers it was not hard to see where it was Louis!

During these first hours of trip we tried the excellent rice balls, made with Savaglio workforce by Mrs. [mother of Nicholas Alberti], muffins Concetta [mother of John / Charles], and the many delights of Mariella [Max's mother] all washed by an excellent red wine produced by Enzo Cerbino in the "Timpe" the roundabout. Michael, to divert, say the truth, to better control the situation due to the knowledge and tastes Calabrian made them feel "Caritas Street Life" instead of "veritas wine."

Arrived almost at the border, the pace of Chiasso was closed due to a landslide, the Miromagnum as tradition "did not give up" and decided to cross the mountain pass in a manner of our own. We tucked into one of those small mountain roads that you see when you look around in Italy. Reached the Swiss, we coasted Lucerne and its lake, a truly fascinating sight and we have recovered the last of Miromagnum, on holiday in Switzerland with his father, Antonio.

In Switzerland a little anecdote, the classic question "nothing to declare" Lucia replied: "sopressata 15, 5 and 4 loaves homemade sausages", you should have seen the eyes of customs officers, even more so after the clarification of the accordionist Roberto: "I am sopressata 16, 6 and 5 loaves homemade sausages, Mom ones you forgot. "

Crossing the Swiss have embarked on the German motorway towards Bitburg. A small note not only the A3 Salerno-Reggio Calabria's infamous is clogged. German motorway, 4 km in two hours, a time that is the envy of A3.



Finally after 26 hours of travel we arrived in the small but charming town of Bitburg. Immediately after getting refreshed with a revitalizing shower, we were greeted by family Gavilla Delfino, a Florentine who emigrated immediately made ​​us feel at home.



An event with a budget of more than 250 000 per year and that the number of tourists it produces more than twice, no doubt about a bell'investimento.


To forget the beer is good, do not talk about water, beer, beer and beer ... ..
