It's becoming too hard to count. Since we first met Andrea and Hermann in Ecuador, December 1996, we have arranged to cross paths multiple times in Germany, many times in Italy, and once in Croatia. A quick figuring has it at around 10.

This meeting was in Padua. We had originally thought of France, but Andrea was keen to visit the Bienalle Venezia, so the destination was modified. This really suited us, as after the massive drive we did to finish our most recent giro, 14 something hours in one day, cutting the distance was super appreciated.
