This time, we packed up „Klaus“, our trusty van, to take on Tuscany—half the trip sailing the seas, the other half cruising through vineyards and countryside, living our best van-lifer meets sailor dream!
We arrived in Italy after a challenging drive through Austria's snow-covered mountains. Grateful we made it safely, and now it’s time to settle in for my very first night in the van. Excited to see what this new adventure has in store!

First stop Bolgheri:
Bolgheri, nestled along the stunning cypress-lined Allee, is a must-visit for wine lovers and nature enthusiasts alike. Famous for its prestigious modern wines like Sassicaia and Ornellaia, this Tuscan gem offers more than just a sip of fine wine. Three things you must do: stroll or bike down the iconic Cypress Avenue, visit the charming medieval village of Bolgheri, and indulge in a wine-tasting tour at one of its world-renowned vineyards.

1. Napoleon's Exile: Elba was the site of Napoleon Bonaparte’s exile in 1814.
2. Beach Paradise: With over 150 beaches, it’s a dream destination for sun-seekers and adventurers alike.
3. Ancient Iron Mines: The island’s rich mining history dates back to the Etruscans, making it known as “the iron island.”
4. Mount Capanne: The island’s highest peak offers incredible views of the Tuscan Archipelago.
5. A Diver’s Delight: Elba’s crystal-clear waters are teeming with marine life and shipwrecks, perfect for underwater exploration.
A place where history meets natural beauty—and where my summer memories live.
