Even Germies like good food ;-)

It was an amazingly warm day when we left our little Nissan Micra cabriolet (we did not even know it existed - But the Italians love it!) at the airport of Genova to head for Tuscany. We decided only the evening before we wanted to make a stop in the well-known gastronomic area of Italy, after all the touristy food of Cinque Terre... and admit, how nice is it to decide then just to make a stop in the middle of the country?

When taxiing away for AVGAS, we realised that that might become harder than expected...Lola's right engine did not want to start. No matter what we tried...So Piper Maintenance (who all love our lady) decided to have a look, and again, and agin, and again... Untill we discovered that my incrediiiiiiiiiible long legs touched one of the circuit breakers in front of me... Sorry Joergie, sorry Lola... I put the fuel pump for the right on "off". Hmmmm... a lot too learn....

Anyway...We put it "On" and off we went...A VFR-flight over Pisa to Siena for good food!
Well, not really...We were not allowed to fly over Pisa due to traffic, but were send along the coastline untill Cecina. After that we were sent into the beautiful Tuscan country side untill our destination.

A mini airport popped out of nothing, surrounded by beautiful yellow and green fields. A dinner with too much "Sex and the City"-daiquiri did us realise good food and wine are one of the best reasons in the world to get your PPL ;-)
