The mighty Dolomite Passes
... are no such things for bikes. He was standing there speaking right into my face just like a head would have done in school days. He then asked me where I was from and I replied "I'm from Scotland". He went totally silent as though to say "I should have guessed". While he stood there giving me a bolloking I was finding it extremely hard not to laugh and finally I just burst out laughing!! He was not impressed and started telling me I was totally mad to be out on a motorcycle ...
Onwards to find the Dolomites
... br> Again I had to be extremely careful descending this pass. It seemed that the first section up the pass had been well gritted but the single road over the top had simply been left to ice up as it was much easier once back on the main road.
As I head down this icy pass road, my eyes are scanning it every inch of the way. What I look for are the rough sections of road which tend to grip better than smooth. On a smooth section if there is ice the wheels will simply go into ...
Return to Forni di Sopra

We wanted to see if it was ...

Unfortunately we could only stay for the night, but we said we'd be back for a longer visit in a few weeks if that worked for them. We arrived in time for lunch and Sue had made a delicious risotto which I had raved about to Tan earlier. After lunch we went out for a walk around town and down to ...
A fantasia journy
... pretty quiet, a few unlucky tourist like us looked for shade in the rain, luckily there where a few stores open, we also found a fancy store for baby cloth, 250€ for a coat!!!! Who would pay this amount for coat that will be good for a few months??? After a very "touristic"strudel in one of the open caffes we decided to buy some food in the mini market and to cook them in our very well equipped apartment. We bought ngucci, ravioli and souces....we are going to eat now!!! Good ...
