Thanks Mark for creating this thread. I kept meaning too but I have been so busy. Man how the summer has flown by.
This was a great little trip for "us" Euro 1Addicts. It was kind of on short notice... but sometimes those are the best kind of trips. Just hop in the car and go!
Here are "some" of my pics. The
Gardasee(Garda Lake) area is so great to visit. Mark is almost a local - he has been there so many times! I would have never found this "hidden" road that is carved thru the canons of the shore of the Gardasee. It was quite a road... until that mega traffic jam when two "non drivers" didn't know what to do when the road got too narrow. Well... 30 minutes latter we were back driving down that road.
After the trip Mark told me that Winston Church Hill described the Lake Garda-Strada della Forra... as one of Europe's most beautiful roads. It was.
Enjoy my pics... I put some comments above each pic soon.

Brenner Pass - Toll road... just like the NJ Turnpike! lol
Always a nice place to stop for Lunch when we need a place to meet up!
Zum Engel in Sterzing Via Deutschhaus, 20, 39049 Vipiteno BZ, Italy
Next door there is this Q8 gas station which has 100 octane fuel. Its very rare to find anything other than "super" 95 octane in Italy. So when we find or know of a gas station that sells 100... we make sure to pay them a visit. Besides the ladies that run this gas station are really nice to us!!
Where to go!?
Hotel Mercure Nerocubo Rovereto Via Per Marco, 16, 38068 Rovereto TN, Italy
a nice hotel... but nothing special. The rooms were nice though. I just didn't care for the breakfast.
A nice steak-haus place in Trento.
Roadhouse Grill
Roadhouse Restaurant Trento - Via del Brennero, 145, 38122 Trento TN, Italy
I forgot to snap a pic of my steak... I was starved(!) but I managed to take one of my desert cake!
Rikx1M in action...
Limone sul Garda 25010 Province of Brescia.
Rumor has it Limone(literary Lemon, bc this is the lemon region of Italy)... anyways this town is where the Italian Gigolo was born. Rich German women would vacation here alone in the 50's while the husbands stayed working back home. There were lots of lemon workers who would "entertain" these women in the summer months. lol
This was kind of weird... I guess it was someone's grave under the water. ???
e-car
"Zoe" by Renault... I think you could out run it.
