And that's where it ends...Our very, very, very first round trip with Lola. We flew back home in IFR - Thanks to Michael and his flight planning for us! -, tested the oxygen again over the Alps and taxied Lola straight to Piper maintenance in Kassel where everyone enthusiasticly opened her up to check what we had been doing...

Our conclusion? A round trip in Italy is an absolute must. The country at itself is paradise, and in just some hours you easily get around to the hot spots of the dolce vita.

What we learned? Don't fly at noon in the summer, always take water along and enjoy VFR in Italy - 1000 AGL is perfect to see the Italian country!

And further? We still have a lot to learn about techniques, and we love the GSM forever - especially the numbers of Friedrich Rehkopf and Piper Maintenance in Kassel where extremely helpfull - thank you all!

But he...We did it. And we just started.

Hi there
guess I'm a little late with my message to wish you good luck on this trip. Anyway, good luck with the next ones - think you can use a little luck sometimes when I read the stories. Boy!

Bisous
