Part 1.
The Route:
2865 miles, 8 countries, 26.4 mpg and a burnt head.
F**king awesome.
Day 1 was a hard drive, 600-odd miles to Wiesen, a little town just south of Davos, Switzerand. Great view out of our Hotel window:
..if a little cold...actually bl**dy freezing!
The next morning as we headed out of Davos, towards Stelvio, and the one thing we weren't expecting was this:
Once we'd got over the peaks and started heading down again, the view got better. You really can't appreciate the scale from pics:
The bottom of the Stelvio pass from the Italian was cold and wet and probably safer to go up than down, especially as my Wife was in a little discomfort from yesterday's long drive - and had had open surgery 3 weeks previously, so no arse-out antics, but you do get a strange compulsion to want to drive straight off into the clouds

And a view from around 2/3 the way up (6500 feet)
The other side was better: Drier, smoother and even brighter, with even more dramatic scenery and drops. Will post the vid later.
