South Tyrol, day 2: the prequel

This is the main abode at Gschliererhof:


Breakfast was on the ground floor, to the right; we stayed in the left-side upstairs apartment. The glass doors looking out on the balcony provided lovely and ever-changing views:

Morning
Evening
Night

The breakfasts were beautiful, especially the one our host prepared on summer Solstice.

The usual spread: yogurt, muesli, cheese, cukes, tomatoes, bread--and the exceptional cake.
16 strawberries, plus one to grow on.
A family rite of passage: when the child turns 16, s/he receives his/her very own slide rule. S gave E S's dad's slide rule, a 1965 Faber Castell 67/87 Rietz.
Nutella.
Hello, chicken.
The farm has a chapel. The hilltop behind it looks just a short walk away, but it's on the opposite side of the valley (click on the photo to see the houses on it).
