After a night which was -so to say- a bit uneasy, a bright morning woke us up and here is a little impression from our yard.

To make friends with the area we planned a short round trip over the nearby hills and to the next little lake. We had to find out that Italy is even more about biking than about eating.

Here you see the whole bunch of us: Lower right is Garnicht, just avove him Doch, the little ones in the upper left are Herman and Hermine and the big grey fluffy thiing on the lower right is, you may have guessed it: me.

Today our trip to Italy has started. It was a rather stressy day. I had  comfortable back seat, but the others went to the trunk. Very thrilling to drive thru the Gotthard road tunnel, which is about 10 miles long. You drive and drive and drive...

We were targeted to a little town close to the Swiss-Italian border. In the town the first adventure was to find the road. Ok, Via Tossello number 18. It started with one and ended with sixteen. Where is number 18? Well, there is a narrow and steep path down here and some 100m downhill it actually was. Quite cool, especially when you use a SUV and not a lowered BMW. Anyway, we finally made it without any serious damage and saw a little house which was totally different than expected but quite nice. We were released that all elephants had enough room.
