The mighty Dolomite Passes
... about 40 minutes or so up here at the summit of "Pordoi pass" I decided I better make tracks. The road down the pass was great and with the sun as it was it was more like midsummer than winter. The road was dry all the way so some great fun was to be had on this wonderful winding road with its sweeping bends etc.
Soon I was back down at about 1000ft or so altitude and there was not a sign of snow anywhere. The temp had now reached a whopping 12 Celsius. I ...

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???

We bought ngucci, ravioli and souces....we are going to eat now!!! Good ...
