The mighty Dolomite Passes
... chance to go and explore them.
The road up this pass looked really amazing from down below. High up on the cliff above I noticed a wonderful stone built bridge virtually hanging on the edge of the cliff. Is that this road I asked myself and sure enough a few miles on I found myself riding up the side of this cliff on this stone bridge. This pass was simply unbelievable. Tunnels, cliff edge bridges and stunning views just about all the way to the summit. The road ...
Onwards to find the Dolomites

A fantasia journy
... that?? There was a point that the houses stopped, there were no green anymore but yellow grass and there where concrete walls everywhere....yes this is passo sela, the rocks pass, this is gonna be the hard part. All this area looked to me like a battle zone that was abondoned a few seconds before, it was quiet outside only the sound of the wind...my hands and legs were shaking I have fear of heights and this is exactly not the place I want to be in, but I have to be strong, so I ...
