As the return journey from the coastal town of Marina di Castagneto to Stuttgart, the capital of Baden-Württemberg, was definitely too far to leave it all in one go, we spent another night near Lake Garda, but this time at the Hotel Montemezzi near Verona. After a good night’s sleep and a large breakfast buffet, we headed home again with a slight delay, due to the duration of the check-out, via the nearby Brenner motorway. In contrast to the outward journey, there was no snow in Austria this time, so we were able to drive through the Fernpass a little faster; the first time we were really stuck in a traffic jam, we were of course back in Germany, which made the overall relaxing holiday a little more nerve-racking, at least on the return journey.
