And so it begins......

So, as we had a day off, we had a little mooch around Belgirate....one of a number of small ‘towns’ along the lake road....

And so rounded off a relaxing day.

Tomorrow (Tuesday), the plan is to head for the Passo Del Stelvio and enjoy that....

So this is Passo Del Stelvio day. Leaving Lake Maggorie this morning, we knew we had some urban traffic to deal with, but by christ, the Italians really don’t know how to drive!!

Anyway...we arrived in Bormio so had a spot of lunch.....a rustic sandwich

At this little cafe....

Just a photo gallery from the Passo Del Stelvio (plus a complimentary selfie )...

Weather was perfect both to the summit, and to our digs for the night.....

Fucking hell, it’s Right Said Fred

I was thinking more , Matt & Luke , Bros

Glad to see a couple of bikes, roads and mountains in the thread, I thought I had stumbled onto Jamie olivers facebook page for a min ;)
I am sure I have seen that red wine in Lidl , Il have to have another look.
Great photographs
I thought it wasn,t allowed to admit you were on the Stelvio pass any more ?
Temperatures bearable ?
Enjoy the rest of your trip
 
So where are you 2 hiding now...............

We spent last night in Ockfen, and heading back into France this morning for a day in France, where hopefully they can drive a bit better. The driving standard over here this year has been truly appalling!
 
And darn lucky with the weather... :thumb

Very much so....in total, we had 15 mins of drizzle in Suisse, and 3 mins drizzle in Germany

The rest of the time the temps have ranged from 22 - 41 degrees celsius and

Think you will find France a tad more quieter given the amount of Police and Gendarmerie radars out there at the moment.
 
So Weds night we ended up in Lenzkirch , which was nestled in the Black , as we wanted to hoon around some of the glorious B roads....

Digs were fine...Hotel Schworer:
