Hi Shinny,

Thanks - I love it here (not my first trip), but with all your awesome food I fear I maygo home a fair bit fatter than I arrived

Yup, I drove the Stelvio Pass... that first picture is actually on the approach to it! I remember it very well, as I lost a wheel nut on the way back down (stupid garage didn't torque them correctly) and had to pull over in a hotel car park to tighten up the other four while the hotel owner shouted at us

That said, Stelvio was not my favourite road of the trip - that was the Col de l'Iseran in France, which goes up to 2770m above sea level! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Col_de_l'Iseran - my exhaust was popping and banging all the way up there
