Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo and the Italian Mountains

Note: this was posted well after I wrote it (4 jul 2021)

Afterwards we drove up into the mountains, to a small town called Mascioni. Here we stayed at the nicest little hotel (Locanda Mausonium) with a very sweet host. We were in a tiny town next to a beautiful lake with snowy mountains in the background. The man from the hotel cooked us dinner and I had a nice carafe of wine and great food.

The next day we truly drove up truly into the mountains. Since the funicular wasn’t running we drove the long way round to a high plateau with a hostel and indulged in Italian coffee for Nelly and a beer for me.
