Italy #7

We moved onto Castelrotto, which is in the north of Italy. It has changed hands between Italy and Austria a few times over the years. As a result over 80% of the people speak German as their first language, 14% speak Ladin (which is only spoken in the Dolomite Mountains) and 3% speak Italian. As you can see by the pictures it looks like you are in Germany. It was beautiful and so very different from the first 5 days that we had been in Italy. I had to keep reminding myself that we were in Italy!
Here is our hotel.
Clearly there was something interesting up there! Tee Hee I think they were looking at the tower:The above was the view from our hotel balcony. :)The town cemetery.
More later!
