A Note about OBEFA
Our big European food adventure began a very long time ago. It was our original intention to plan a route and make a continuous non-stop journey to all the major cities, and for a while it was a plausible plan. Then we added up all the stops and all the days and we realised it was impractical, so we came to a pragmatic conclusion based on a rail (train and tram) and road (bus) strategy. Visa issues, border crossings and bad weather wrecked the first mad journeys in the later years of the 1990s and early years of the 2000s. We decided to make a new plan.
That involved short trips with a definitive itinerary. For more than 20 years we criss-crossed the continent although mostly we decided on a base and took day trips. For example we stayed in Verona for 14 days and made trips around the region, up into the Alps to Bolzano / Bozen and down into the Po Valley to Borghetto sul Mincio, and became acquainted with the traditional food culture. Some of the material from that trip is featured in FF, vis:
