A day of cold and hot
... then come out above and looking back it’s like a sea in the sky. To the East I can see the road over the pass to which I was just riding.
After 15 minutes I step out the car and onto the mountain of ice. The whole place is a mass of white snow and ice. Even though I’m almost 3km high up in the sky I’m still surrounded by even higher mountains. There are skiers all over the place having fun in the snow while I stand here with my camera ...

Sondrio, Tirano and the Bernina Express
... into a few boutique shops saw us leave with a few locally made goods. We hop in the car for the last leg of our Italy drive - the drive to Sondrio is only 70k but takes about 70 mins and apart from the time spent in tunnels the drive is very scenic and Northern Italy quite appealing.
