  • After 5 days in Tuscany we set off north.
    First stop was Candalla, north of Lucca, wherew we climbed up the pretty torrent and bathed in rockpools.
    We stopped for 2 nights in Donnas where we stayed in the chalet style La Maison des Vignerons. We swam in the nearby Torrent Fer at Picnic area Chignas.
    We then drove over the Great St Bernard Pass, stopping at the lake at the top, where it was far too cold to swim.
    On through Switzerland and into France where we stopped at the village of Avanne-Aveney near Besançon.
    From there we drove to St Omer, staying overnight before taking Le Shuttle to England.

    We went wild swimming once in Italy, when friends took us to a beautiful little stream in a deep crevice near Vidiciatico in the Appenine mountains. Wonderful afternoon! While there, they pointed out some small mountain wildcats that peeked down at us from high up on the ledge of the mountain. A few days later, in town, we found a kitten who was apparently left behind or lost from someone visiting on summer holiday. He was wearing a little smudged red collar and smelled very bad, because he'd been hanging around a dumpster, searching for food. My husband took one sniff and said "Ewww...cipolla!"(onion!). I fed him the last of my gelato, and we tucked him back inside the spot on a stone fence where we'd found him. A few days later I was returning to our apartment at the edge of town, and, as I approached, the same kitten jumped out at me from a hedge over the driveway. It was the same little kitten, with the same collar! I walked from our apartment to the piazza at least once a day, sometimes twice, and I'd only brought one cologne with me, a light musk scent, which I always wore. (Musk comes from the Civat cat....the little guy had tracked me down by my perfume!) We named him Cipolla, called him 'Chip' for short, and when we failed at finding his owner, we managed to him a kitty passport, a carrier, and took him home to Memphis where he lived for 18 1/2 years! He'd always seemed just a little different from most kittens, and I happened across a cat book that had a picture of an Ocicat, which looked a lot like Chip. The book said that an Ocicat was a breed that had come from breeding British Short-haired cats with Siamese. I suddenly remembered seeing a large golden tabbycat who always seemed to have a bunch of kittens, and who lived in a building right near the piazza where we had found Chip. Chip was a darker golden color, slimmer, and with more distinct markings in his stripes. Then I thought of the small mountain cats we'd seen on the mountain just behind that building. It suddenly dawned on me that that was very likely Chip's heritage...the piazza cat and a mountain cat!

    Love how Indie greeted your dad as she found herself back in his garden. She clearly feels very happy there. Your trip thru the Alpine villages and towns and countryside is wonderful to be brought along on. Donnas area is gorgeous, thank you so much for showing us some off the beaten path areas of Italy, France, Switzerland. Looking forward to walks with your dad. His garden looks lovely.

    Hello from Northern California! I am loving the trips around Italy and showing us folks, who unfortunately are not able to travel...school has started and being a teacher...ignore the grammerical errors... and life is back to the usually daily grind. I look forward to your videos, whilst drinking my coffee. Thank you, and I wish you and your family lots of love, happiness and joy.🥰

I have to tell you this is one of the best videos you've done. I'm going back and re-watch it. Now how are you going to top this video??? Have a great time in England with your Dad and we'll see you next week.

    The beauty of your trip is the reunion of the family with your father. Having a daughter is a blessing, she can travel distances to meet her parents. No matter what cultures you follow, this union moves you to tears. Stay blessed with your family.

    I hope Carlo is feeling better and you are both over your tummy bugs. Candella was so picturesque, and the water so clear; in fact, every scene throughout the trip looked amazing. The doggies were happy to see your dad again (as was I) and his very pretty garden. Have a wonderful stay. Cheers, Muffy from Oz

    I think it's important to admit we are scared sometimes and say it out loud. Whether going for a dip or swimming, I too feel uneasy unless I can stand up in shallow waters. Admitting to feeling frightened, somehow helps me to move onwards with acceptance. I enjoyed seeing the lovely views and you both look well, despite being ill for a few days. So lovely to see Harry. Wishing you all a sunny and lovely time in England 🙂🙏🎶☀️

    Finding swimming holes is a adventure and quite welcoming once you see the waters and the water falls. Kayaking with the dogs at the helm was interesting and successful, well done. Glad to see Carlo feeling better, that being said he contributed much to blog. Resurrecting the drone was triumph. Wishing you both a pleasant stay in England.

    Carlo’s drone work was so amazing! The scene just before the drone crashed was absolutely breathtaking. I think it’s because he’s willing to take risks like that, that you are able to include such incredible footage. You always brighten my Monday morning here in Kyoto! Thanks for filming even though you weren’t feeling that great. It’s precisely when things don’t go as planned, but you both make the best of them, that your videos are most inspiring! 🎉

The drive through the Alps was spectacular. I’m glad you made it safely to England and I trust you are having a marvelous visit with your dad. I hope he sends you home with some of his delicious jam! 😊

    Wow, ci hai portato sulla via alpina! Mi ha ricordato da dove venivano i miei nonni, le grandi rocce del fiume, la cascata d'acqua, l'acqua cristallina. Quelle belle montagne. Ah, è vero, ero giù in Valle D Arosia, c'erano 35 gradi, poi sono salito in montagna, a comprare i funghi porcini che crescevano nel bosco, e lassù faceva molto freddo. Indossavo solo una giacca e così ho visto un cappotto che passava su un muro di un negozio, e l'ho comprato! Sono passati 18 anni e ho ancora il cappotto oggi. Grazie a tutti e due per averci portato con voi! Spero che Carlo si senta meglio mentre è in Inghilterra e sta con tuo padre e la tua famiglia! Abbi cura di te e spera che tu riesca anche a prendere il traghetto che consente ai tuoi bambini di salire a bordo! Goditi il ​​tuo tempo, stai al sicuro!!

    You "stopped by a supermarket on the way," and when you were ready for lunch, after a nice swim and frolicking in the water with the dogs, you pulled out of an unrefrigerated bag all types of salami, cheese, raw fish sushi, roast chicken, etc.
    I'm really sorry you and Carlo had such a bad upset tummy, Nicki, but I wasn't surprised.

In all my years there, I had actually never made OVER the San Bernardino pass, so this was so lovely to see ❤ Thank you for sharing your travels with us. I also enjoyed seeing all the places you stayed at to sleep. They were all so unique and with lots of character. Have a wonderful time with dad, and I look forward to another episode!

    Dearest Nicki and Carlo,
    Much gratitude to you both. My Amazing Dad felt anxious on Fri night, his voice was hoarse,a whisper. I played your video of grapes, making traditional wine. "Daddy, we will get a 🍇 crusher machine like they have, and make our wine. We will travel to Italy."
    He always asked who you were.
    "Friends we haven't in met yet".
    Daddy focused and calmed down. A friend called. "Joe, if you lost your voice, don't worry. It will turn up somewhere. Maybe it's under the bed."
    He was serene, content.
    Calls of gratitude came in.
    Daddy mouthed
    "I love you too "
    And blew kisses.
    He passed away the next morning.
    With images of Paradise, baking,
    Your wine making, Holly, in his heart.
    I will be forever grateful for your gentleness, and helping my Dad over the threshold, holding close the glimpse ahead.
    Awakening one day in Paradise.
    Much love to you both.
    ,🍇👏

      Hi Carlo here, first of all we are sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved dad, I was very moved to read your comment, especially the phrase, "Friends we haven't met yet", I would like to say that we feel "proud" of this, of the fact that people we've never met think of us as friends, but perhaps the term proud is not the most correct to define our feelings about this, but it doesn't matter.
      We send you big hugs and kisses. 💕😘👋

When you were kayaking I had to take a screen shot of the cows in the river.

    Poor Carlo. The drone is working again & he isn't yet. It's frustrating to be ill on vacation. I think it is more nervous-making to dive or swim in water that you cannot be certain what's under it. When you can see the bottom and rocks clearly, there is not so much worry. The waterfalls are lovely. I think smaller waterfalls are friendly because we can enjoy them and maybe even drink from them. But big waterfalls that are thunderously breathtaking, like Victoria Falls in Africa, are just to look at and marvel at their beauty and the power of our mother element. Are the dogs sick? Why have they not eaten for 2 days? Just travelling nerves? I think the picnic choices look splendid (even the ones for the dogs). I love blackbetties & peaches baked with Halloumi on top even for breakfast on an autumn morning, when they're in season. No one here does chocolates when shipping or in vending machines in the summer because it gets too hot and humid and it's all melted and unappetizing. Thank God, St. Valentine's Day & Easter & Mothers' Day all occur here between February 14th & the 2nd Sunday in May, so there is no problem for the vendors of chocolates to make their annual huge profits during those 3 months. Lenten food fasting is not the big deal it once was, so that doesn't hurt them at that time. That door made by an artisan carpenter is stunning. Doors aren't what they used to be. LOL. But, I'm not kidding. Mexico has some fabulous doors. Mercy, I wonder if I've become a door freak? It's that they welcome us to whatever is within and that's delightful when they are inviting, in fact. Some have exquisite metalworks on them, as well as, often beautiful paints that speak to the traditions, costumes of the local culture. The stone features from the Roman Empire are interesting in their ability to hold up through heavy use and then disuse over the centuries. The buildings with the tiny windows do look more foreboding, I guess because building then did not allow for large windows and doors, as it does now. So many of those types of edifices look like prisons. Oh stop: St. Bernard plush toys! LOL. Oh, you are still in the Schengen area. No customs required. I love seeing how the construction of the buildings, often particularly the roofs, is designed to handle their most inclement weather by allowing snow to slough-off readily, etc. The river and rapids were great. I don't know that either dog appreciated the rapids. How nice that you got to the cathedral during an organ rehearsal. Some of the windows were quite pretty. Glad you didn't contract either of the new Covid variants now going around. Be sure to get the new boosters when they are available this fall around the time of the flu shots. Good that you all are feeling well when headed to visit Harry. Is there less rain in August in England than at other times of the year? There he is and amidst such vivid blooming flowers! The pooches are happy to see their human granddad. Does Harry have carpel tunnel syndrome from mixing his jams? I noted a wrist bandage.

    Well trips are all about being flexible & weather has a lot to do w/ it. It looks like the 4 of you did a lot of water anyway. After all this heat & humidity I would think the coolness of France would be welcome. I can tell Holly is slowing down (it’s hard to keep up w/ you very active humans) but nothing will take away from how sweet she is. Gorgeous scenery. How lucky you are. Hope you’re having a great visit w/ dad. Always enjoy the English scenery too. Stay well now.

    Beautiful trip. Not to insult the Italians, Carlo, but the French cathedrals (and their organs) are just something special to behold. Thanks for filming that. En continue avec le voyage...

    What a great trip and video. Poor Carlo didn’t look well at all and there’s nothing worse than travelling when you’re sick.
    I can’t believe I’ll be in Italy (from Adelaide, Australia) in two weeks and Positano in three weeks. I’ll wave in the general direction of your house as I walk down the steps from my little cottage in Montepertuso to Villa Olivieri for my daughters wedding.
    I’m hoping to hunt down your book too.

    On my first trip to Europe, 1983, I started in London, then to Switzerland, France, and Italy. I even went via St Gotharts Pass (Hannibal's route I was told). This was so much fun to go with you, reverse the route. I look forward to your future adventures. I love dogs and your pups are so adorable and well behaved. Happy Trails❤️

    I love seeing your dad waiting for you and how excited the dogs were to see him😢 I was sad to see Carla be sick on your trip and that you both got the tummy flu. That doesn't make traveling that much fun but you guys always make the best of it

    You find the most delightful tucked out of the way waterfalls, rivers and streams. As both of you are artists in your own right, I suppose that is appropriate. I enjoy every part of the journeys you share with us.

    Awesome amazing. Thank you for taking the us alog on your adventures. Would never get to see these places if not through your viedos. Can't get enough. Thank you again, always leave wanting more. Love traveling and especially love Italy. I was so blessed To go to Italy once on a plan tour better then not getting to be there at all. My age and health probably will not permit me to return again. But, oh how I'm enjoying my time with you and Carlo.

    I think what I appreciate and admire most about your vlogs, other than your lovely Italy and your wonderful travels, is something I wish other youtubers would model themselves on: you do not OVERSHARE your lives. For me, you really strike the perfect balance of public and private. That is refreshing. THANK YOU. The downside is ... I wish the vlogs lasted longer!!!! 😀 La Maison des Vignerons was amazingly beautiful! Thank you for allowing me to travel with you guys, it`s never a dull moment! Cheers to Harry and the doggies!

    Glad to be with you on another Sunday. A nice break from our continued 100+ degree weather down here in Texas.
    Love, Terry and Joe

    What a spectacular vedio; the scenery was beautiful !
    You look very happy Nicki.
    I love going vicariously on vacation with you.
    I do remember saying a prayer for you last year when you traveled alone .
    I do hope it isn't bronchitis that Carlo is having and hope he feels better soon.
    I'm still amazed how the dogs are so calm on the kayaks.
    So glad that you both made it safely home to dad's.
    I loved how he was put there waiting for you both.
    I do sincerely thank you for allowing us along the way with you both.
    I so look forward to Sunday for your vedios.
    Just love you guy's! ❤

    I live in Southern California but used to live in Naples, Italy. My friends and I used to go to Capri, Positano, or Ischia on weekends. We would ask our friend Paulo, “ What’s our Mission?” And he would take us to these awesome pools to swim. Really miss those adventures!

    Sorry that Carlo hasn’t felt well and both of you catching a bug, but from what I saw, the areas were stunning. I love the Alps. The rock pools are beautiful and your b and b’s were lovely. Carlo, I’m glad the drone is OK. You fly it so well. Harry looks wonderful. I’m enjoying the trip and hope everything gets better for you in England and on the way back. Hugs to all of you.

    Thank you for the beautiful video. It brought back special memories when I was 10 yrs old, and my dad took me and my Mom on a road adventure through Italy, the Alps in Switzerland, and across to France. Best times ever!!

    I love when you guys take us along with you on your trips, I've been taking care of my 97 year old dad for 2.5 years now and finally getting a break, my sister is here from Las Vegas taking over and I am taking off to Italy tomorrow!! Too bad my dates clashed with your trip, I don't think I will get to meet you guys in Positano, will be there the end of this week. Either way, enjoy your vacation and take care!!

    In 2013 we stopped off for lunch at Settimo Vittone, (just down the road from Donnas.) on our way to Mont Blanc - I took a lovely photo of the bridge and the clock tower there - then spent the next 2 years trying to find out where the photo was from as I hadn’t written the name down! Many google images of the area later, I finally found it! 😂 It’s such a beautiful area. Enjoy the rest of your break. 🇳🇿

    What a treat…to travel with you guys…the mountains are soooo gorgeous….there is so much to this video…..the river bathing, the old stones, the ruins, all speak to me, I want to touch those ancient stone walls and feel the energy of the past…thank you.❤❤❤

    Yet another fantastic video . Trip often never goes quiet, as we plan. Shame we can't book the weather like we do places to stay. The water always looks so inviting, not like the North Sea. Having just returned from Sorrento after 2 wonderful weeks where we visited Pompeii again. It still amazing my husband and me how you can see the cart wheel tracks worn into the stone path. You always find such wonderful, beautiful places to stay and visit. Thank you for taking us along with you.❤
