Ok I made an error and bottled it I took the St Bernard tunnel and should or risked the high Pass, at the next Alpine crossing the high Pass will be braved.
So we left Interlaken after doing the preverbal runner and turned south, the route was scenic to say the very least, there is little I could write that would do justice to the roads, or Vista that we saw, however a few things do jump out,
1. The Swiss are very friendly but enjoy ripping off persons with Euros
2. Baguette and Liver Wurst on an alpine pass is wonderful
3. Italian coffee beats the pants out of the Swiss Rubbish we have been forced to endure.
4. Italians really do make spectacular pizza
Ok so we make the Border at St Bernard, the col de St Bernard I did not pass and should have, enough said. We travel into Italy and stop at the first (Motorway) café, the Cappuccinos was spot on, we then travelled a few K to Aosta and pulled into a campsite, the Reception was shut so we moved on, we found a second the price was good but the accommodation did not look quite all it could be, we moved on again, we then found Aosta Camping the site looks nice and the price is good, even more interesting was the comment for the reception that the Pizza place opens at seven and the Pizza is very very good. We stayed and at seven went for Pizza, it was “Outstanding” and the local beer was fresh clean and wonderful.
We took a few pictures on the way here and I will do my best to Geotag them.
If I walk out of the camper door I can see no less than 4 high mountains surrounding the place, that along with the lilting Italian jabbering around me, it quite wonderful.
We start the trek down to the Rivera tomorrow. More good Coffee and food awaits I’m sure.
