We packed up quite quickly, we’re either getting better or the thought of a proper bed has spurned us on a bit. We drove up the lake, we decided against stopping for petrol as we had half a tank left but as soon as we crossed the border to Switzerland we saw that the average price was 1.98 per litre, we’d been paying just 1.44 in Italy. I suggested we turn back and fill the car up in Italy but Susan persuaded me to forget it. Just as well as the price in Switzerland is in Francs and it actually works out cheaper in Euros.
We drove on through the Dolomites heading north towards Austria, we had to buy a pass to drive in Switzerland and another one to drive in Austria.
The scenery round these mountain passes is stunning, very Alpine, the air is fresh and clear.
We had to drive through the San Bernadino tunnell, this is the dogs by the village of San Bernadino.
San Bernadino.
We had a nice lunch in a service station where the dogs were allowed then we carried on to St Anton. We arrived in cloud and found our apartment. It is really nice, very well equipped and definitely worth the extra money.
We settled in then Helen and her friend Anne arrived bringing dinner with them, it was good to catch up and we had a nice evening. Our first night in the luxury did not result in as good a sleep as I had hoped, the pillows were too low but that has now been resolved with extra pillows. Best of all, we have a web connection at last.
