The mighty Dolomite Passes
... conditions. I just could not stop laughing and soon after a while he saw the funny side too and was laughing. It was almost like some comedy show. He finally gave me a clap across my shoulder and said "You Mad, mad mad ma, go go" and on that note I was off down this icy road once again with a massive grin on my face!! I suppose I cannot disagree with what he was saying. True, you got to be mad riding a bike up here during this time of year and especially in these ...

... I'm driving slow...very slow...I mean very very very slow...I could walk it faster. For ten minutes I couldn't breath the view was stunning and extremely dramatic, it was abyss all around and the huge rocks of the Dolomites were closing on us from above...I have to admit I don't like them at all those rocks, remember disney's movie fantasia?? If so, there is the part with Stravinsky music, in this piece there is a bold mountain that look exactly like the Dolomites figures...in the ...
