    We are headed to the Dolomites this Sunday (staying in Ortisei!) and are SO. EXCITED. We have looked at countless videos of the area over the past two years in preparation - but your videos are the first ones that really made this feel REAL for us! Almost shed a tear just watching - and we haven't even been there yet. Your production quality is excellent, and just overall very enjoyable to watch - thanks for sharing!

      Ahhh this makes us soooo happy! Not going to lie, we almost cried multiple times while there 😭😍. It’s absolutely magical and one of our favorite places we have ever been!!! Ortisei is amazing and I’m not sure if you saw our video from there, but we loved that area! Thank you so much for the sweet comment and we hope you have the best time ever!

    A reason why the Pragser Lake (Lago di Braies) is so popular right now is because an Italian TV series is filmed there. Since it is broadcasted even in other countries (Austria and Germany for sure) it has been seeing a raise in popularity as a tourist venue. Easy to understand why it was chosen 😉 breathtakingly beautiful.

    What is the name of the music at 13:06? I totally know what it's like to be without water in Italy. In my first trip (out of 12 trips), I passed out (to my embarrassment) at the Original Al Freddo's in Rome (original owner invented Fettucini Al Freddo) because I had not drank enough water during the long day of walking all over Rome. So, I rushed to get dress for dinner, didn't drink water, and just went to the restaurant. When I got there all I kept telling my friends was, "water, water, water....." then I passed out! I was so embarrassed, but after that I drank a ton of water throughout the days I was there. Love your shots of the lake - GORGEOUS (like everything in Italy)! Thanks.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  5 років тому +1

      Hi! It’s a song called Smile a While from Epidemic Sound (where we get our music!). And oh my gosh that sounds so scary! We aren’t the best at staying hydrated 😬 and it’s scary when you run out and are soooo thirsty! But it sounds like we both learned our lesson and will drink tons of water now haha!

    • @mibelloaleman
      @mibelloaleman 5 років тому

      Thank you so much for the song name - I've already downloaded it and started a new playlist, thanks to you! I love it! It's sound so much like something I would be dancing to at a club I used to go to in Firenze (Florence) called Space Electronic where I would dance till I drop. Did you get a chance to go to it when you were in Florence?Yep, I passed out and thank God one of my friends was a nurse so she was able to bring me back. The waiters were in a panic and I reassure them that it had nothing to do with the restaurant, especially because we hadn't even begun eating. But boy, did I drink A LOT of water when I came to! Please remember always to carry a bottle of water. Thanks again!

    Running out of water sucks! We bought one of those water filter kits for our last trip. It is super small and lightweight and allows you to only take 1 or 2 bottles (depending on whether you share) and then refill them in the rivers/lakes. Saves a ton of water weight in the bag!

    After 4 years around Dolomites, I would say that it was completely madness to do those 3 in one day. If you really want to enjoy and to taste every km you do around Tre Cime or Sorapis, guys you need a separate day for each one. You missed so much, like Lago di Misurina or Croda dei Toni or Cima Undici, lot of smaller lakes or waterfalls, very beautiful view points, especially if you go back from Sorapis to Passo Tre Crocci. You have basically choose to do 2 National Parks in one day, which is insane. Not sure where have you slept, but Cortina and Monte Cristallo are super beautiful it self. Pictures are awesome, really great work but i think that you should go back one more time to Dolomites and do it slower.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  5 років тому +3

    Question about the water. Do you know if it is illegal or not to filter from the lake? I always pack a katadyn water filter on all my hikes and filter from water sources as I go to help cut down on pack weight. Of course I pre-check to make sure there are sources and never came across anywhere where it was illegal.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  5 років тому

      Of course! Sorry we couldn’t help with the question! The Dolomites was by far the trickiest part of our trip to plan due to how many amazing areas there were, lots of information online to sift through, and the multiple languages spoken/names for everything. But it’s SO worth it!

    • @kayseacamp
      @kayseacamp 5 років тому

      Adventures of A plus K right?! Aren’t there some areas have observe like 3 different languages so there can be 3 different names for the same place? And it’s so expansive it’s like what “end” of the Dolomites do I choose? Or do I just save myself the headache and basically copy a full itinerary from a detailed blog so I don’t even have to think. Hahah.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  5 років тому +1

      Yes! Everything had three names, which made planning so challenging! We stuck to the areas on this vlog + Ortisei/Seceda and absolutely loved it. We’d love to go back and see more areas, but the four big spots we visited were stunning and we’d highly recommend it for a first trip! We have a 4 day guide on our site that includes those spots + a couple others (we only had 2 days) if you need help getting started! We definitely had to rush a bit and were exhausted after, so we made our guide longer than the time we had there. It was totally worth being exhausted though!

    Such great videos! Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Quick question, when you said you went out early in the Dolomites and also Venice, how early is early? My wife is also sensitive to gluten. We noticed several times in the video you mentioned that European wheat did not bother Kathryn. Did you have to take enzymes in order to eat the bread and pasta in Italy or were you able to eat without problems?

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  2 роки тому

      Hey Wesley! Our biggest tip for popular places is get there at or right after sunset. We started exploring Venice for the day at sunrise and had St. Mark's Square almost to ourselves for over an hour. Same with the Dolomites. Get out there as early as you can.
      Kathryn did take enzymes for most of the trip. They use a different type of wheat over there that didn't bother her as much.

    I also have gluten issues. Did they say why you don’t have issues in Italy? Also, did you take the pill while there or did you not even need them? I have IBS and am worried about the lack of bathrooms in Italy and running into some trouble if you know what I mean. Lol.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  4 роки тому +1

      Hahaha I totally know what you mean! And you have to pay to use the bathroom in Italy, so make sure you have some coins! I think it’s due to a protein that is not in the gluten there which is in American gluten. I took a gluten digestive enzyme for a few days and then just experimented with what happened and I felt fine! Well, minus how stuffed I felt from how much we ate. But my issues aren’t horribly severe.
