Hunting in bad weather was a breeze

Tania_R, May 2023
It was a long drive and the weather was bad, we feltt safe in the hands of Petra our guide as she powered through the route like a champ while we were all jet lag and asleep. Knowing that it was rainy weather, Petra gave us advance info to be prepared but being typical tourist we were under prepared. The hunt service providers lent us raincoats and shoe protection. It was muddy and slippery and it is exciting to keep up with the dog, kudos to caring Petra for providing her arm for support to my senior companion who would not have been able to walk in the forest and enjoy the experience. The sampling of truffle infused and truffle itself was a delight. I THROUGHLY ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE despite the bad weather. Our guide Petra was so knowldgeable on the subject of shrooms and foraging for wild asparagus and her great personality made the weather seem like it was nothing. Also enjoyed the food and thanks to Ben the truffle hunter and the sniffer dog Lila for running in the muddy forest and not giving up.
