STELVIO PASS

Further posts to come re Stuttgart incl Mercedes, Porsche and Jewellery museums.
Also visited the Bosch Archives & had a great tour with Dietrich & were presented with limited edition book for the 125th anniversary of Bosch.
However, for now, until better connection....................

15th August, stayed  somewhere up in the Swiss Alps, after starting in Germany, lunch in Switzerland, into Italy, thru Austria & back into Switzerland.

Next day, drove over Stelvio Pass, many corners, some of which the Morgan only just got around in one go.
Then down east side of Lake Garda, tourist season so tourists everywhere, all booked out.  Continued on to Modena.

Visited Ferrari museum, them Lamborghini.
After trying to get accommodation on the coast, gave up & headed inland. Found a lovely B & B in the hills complete with swimming pool. Weather is now hot, hot, hot (up to 37 deg).
Proprietor recommended a restaurant 3kms away (full of roosters of all kinds: ceramic, painted etc). Dinner was excellent & so much even Phil was defeated.

Now at Ancona ferry terminal to cut to Greece (Igoumenitsa) on overnight ferry. Italy is too busy at this holiday time of the year.  What is not shut is overcrowded.
