The whole thing was kind of a joke. We were hopelessly lost somewhere in the Dolomites............We thought we had it figured out and then that sign..........."just cleared it all up"!
......And FYI AMG Deutch....I speak Italian......Mantenga il vostro sarcasm tedesco dell'elitista a lei!

I'm sorry to see this post. I guess all of Europe needs to post their signs in a language that you know/speak, regardless of the country they are placed in. Pictograms just don't seem to work. Please call ahead of time, a few years should do, and let them know your vacation plans. That way they can accomodate you on your travels. :p :v

Ich bin froh das Du es auch so verstanden hast wie es gemeint war; als Jux.

Ich versuchte, es als Witz zu nehmen, aber ich schätze, daß ich ihm eine Spitze persönlich nahm. Ich erhalte von den Amerikanern müde, die das Erhalten für das Anpassen nicht anderen Kulturen critisized. Begnadigen Sie mein Deutsches, ich sind gerechtes Lernen.

Es scheint wie Sie sagte, "Energie nichts". Ich bin nicht sicher, was dieses Mittel. Aber ich denke, daß der Rest über das Versuchen, sich einer anderen Kultur anzupassen ist. Ist das korrekt?
I am much better at Italian...........sorry, my German is weak.

Ich schätze, daß ich auf Deutsch gerade vorbei erhalten kann. Ich bin froh, daß mindestens es verständlich ist.
Anche se posso parlare italiano... quei segni ancora lo guidano pazzesco!

L'italiano è troppo difficile..
Mais je peux parler en Français si tu veux..
English isn't a problem either..
Aber Deutsch ist immernoch am Einfachsten

Deutscher ist für mich sehr hart. Wenn ich höre, daß er alles wie ein militärisches klingt, befehlen Sie!
I guess your first language is always the easiest!
