Good luck with th ML @Zeti! Those mountain roads are fantastic to drive and something I'd love to do again! Our Rockies are beautiful but nothing compared to the German and Austrian Alps. Did I tell you my paternal grandparents were from Austria?? JIM

5 Weeks to go till we go on probably our best adventure to date. From day 2 we will be visiting places like this

 

[billz]

And travelling roads like these
Klausen pass

Grossglockner

Julier Pass

Stelvio Pass

This is just a few of the roads we will be driving.
Can not wait

If Switzerland fascinated you, I want to see what will happen after the Austrian Alps experience! I think you'll be here every year. And in one of the next trip , when you'll be again close to Romania, I'll take you in Transylvania to see few roads and taste the food and the palinka!

What are less than one thousand miles for this very special occasion? (This is the aprox distance between Alps and RO border to hit the West Carpathians.) June will be the best period. And you will see also the Transfagarashan and Transalpina. This winter we will make a road book and maybe I will tempt some more Zorgers!

Totally agree with you about the Austrian Alpine roads! There aren't any that I found that didn't challenge and provide views you can't see elsewhere!! Wish I'd known you back then when Joan and I took five weeks around that area and surely would have come to meet you and your family! JIM

 

[Zeti]

We're still alive Jim! Who can say this will not happen? Life has its road and we are still driving on it! Be optimistic!
