Have Bernoota will Travel

Oh !! ... the issue of the moment 

You know how it is when you have been on an adventure 
that was memorable 

you just have to 


revisit it again and again even if others don't find the need?




                  


So here we are on the other side

looking forward to the next place

somewhere in our world

Bernoota goes on a Italian getaway

Yes Bernoota said it's time to "hit the Road again"

#wheresyourbernootabeen

Bernoota said engage in a southern Italian adventure

The lead carrier's of the Bernoota were: 


Ron & Joy Pearce

They were chomping at the bit to show there Bernoota style..

1st stop was Napoli on the balcony of our apartment in the Spanish quarter of the old town






Napoli   
A city with heart and soul - A place not to be missed

Onwards we must travel
1st Lecce, a side trip to Gallipoli in Apulia and then onto Alberobello, the next Bernoota was let loose







Hey!! if you must do it - do it roadside 

Narrow streets meant we had to move the table occasionally to allow cars to pass.




Salute.!!  Cin cin.!!

On-top of our Trullo  




The schedule got a little busy after this which delayed the next opening. To get there we travelled to Bari and Matera, trained up the coast to Verona and then onto Venezia. Lucky us last place before heading home with 2 bottles to spare.





 Out the front of our Apartment, the bells chimed which meant it must be Bernoota time 


Venezia, Bernoota and look what happens.....






Our last Day and the rain sets in

what should one do? 

Do a Bernoota 









Good weather for Ducks...



 Look who's inspecting the bottle to check out there mates picture on the label 



Arrivederci 

Our transport to the airport as we farewell Venezia

The bernoota is buckled up and set to travel in 2014

As we prepare for our jaunt in 2014 there were issues -  how many bottles of Bernoota we were going to be able to take without busting the baggage allowance. So we tucked 2 bottles each into our luggage and we set off....

First up it was Cairns to Japan for a 3 day rest before the start of our journey to Tromsø Norway, 300 km inside the arctic circle and this is our transport to get us and our stash of Bernoota there.




3 flights - 18 hours 
Tokyo-Frankfurt-Oslo-Tromsø
The Bernoota arrived safety at it's destination

So let the Bernoota flow


This place has been on my bucket list for years and to celebrate cracking a bottle of Bernoota with that view in the background including the Arctic Cathedral 

Laying down on the job.....while engaging in a glass of Bernoota
or is he making sure he knew where he was??




And the reason for the trip to Tromsø was to see the Northern Lights 
and did they put on a show for us. 

Now that made it totally worth the journey -A big Cha ching

Next bottle of Bernoota boarded Hurtigruten's MS Kong Harald for it's journey down the Norwegian coast to Bergen


we decided the appropriate time to open the next bottle of Bernoota was as we cruised south out of the Arctic circle.
The round monument on the rock indicates we have left the Arctic circle.
Southwards to warmer parts - may even break above 5 deg C


After finishing our trip down the coast on the MS Kong Harald and one night of extreme high seas several days on solid ground in Bergen was a dream.

Then on a train from Bergen to Oslo we came prepared with our Bernoota and a selection of salami, chorizo and cheese to while a way the next 6 hours of incredible scenery


A flight from Oslo to Copenhagen where we spent our last 4 nights 
to bid farewell to copenhagen we decided the last bottle of Bernoota should be consumed at Nyhavn, the 17th-century canal  Stretching from Kongens Nytorv to the harbour 


Now we bid farewell to Scandinavia, the Northern Lights being an absolute highlight
