I like at 3:40 "the very boaring north italian plains" ahah I agree not that much of excitement flying in the po's valley but what about flying in the nederlands: more or less boring? ;)

We actually are from Belgium...

But yes, flying over our part of Belgium is also quite boring. The main reason however why we were bored was because a) we just flew over parts of the Alps and the beautiful area near Albenga b) you have to follow the compulsory route and c) it is a relatively long stretch of flat, mainly agricultural areas. In Belgium you can maximum flya little over 1 hour in a straight line and you are outside the country ! LOL

Hi,

Glad you liked it ! We flew more or less in a straight line eastbound which means we had to follow the compulsory reporting points. The middle part of the journey was quite boring but as we reached the coast just south of Venice it was beautiful !

Landing at Lido was the absolute highlight for Ives, my favorite was Brac however...

You're right about flying in the "Pianura padana" in my opinion the worse flying area we have in Italy. In the winter it's covered by a daily thick layer of fog; helemaal niet luik!
