On Wednesday, we caught the vaporretto to the train station at 730 am and got to see all of the barges and small boats full of fresh fruit and other supplies headed into Venice. We got on the train and after a short delay outside of Verona, made it to the rental car office before it closed for lunch. We got both cars and headed north by autostrada to Bolzano and then Castelrotto. It got more and more cloudy the further North we travelled. There was enough sun to enjoy the great small skiing and hiking town of Castelrotto where we found our terrific hotel (cavallino D'oro) which was right next to the old town square and bell tower. The bells rang every 15 minutes, all day and all night with 40 tolls of the bells every day at 7AM, noon and 7pm. Braving the weather, we all caught a chair lift to the top of a nearby mountain and got some cloud-covered views of the Dolomites. We returned to the hotel for a great dinner and went to bed early.
