The next morning we got up, had our respective breakfasts, and went off to get the rental car.

It’s not a long drive, our destination was just a couple hours south in Trento where we would relax, spend the afternoon as a staging ground so we can start the next day bright and early.

It was a tough balance, trying to find the right rental car as we needed one that could fit everything, but not so big we had to deal with difficulty parking. It’s because of the car too that we specifically had to find hotels that had parking, preferably free.

Car acquired, time to hit the road!

Trento is the third largest Italian town in South Tyrol, and also a university town. We got settled in, wandered around town went out for dinner before starting on our trip tradition – to hunt down gelato every night.
