Reply to "Pre-LMC visit to Italy"

Then I had 450 km to go. After driving for a while, I found a good speed on the straight Italian Autostradas. I had taken my shoes of, driving barefoot is not something I’ve done for years (what’s that strange smell?). Hot outside, A/C on low fan and one third cool managed well, quite comfortable. I looked at the GPS that said 3½ hour till destination. In a classic car in the motherland. I thought:”Great!”

When I started to go south towards Genova, the scenery changed again. No more flat plains and straight roads, now it snaked itself through the mountains, almost like a video game. Not like in Austria where speeds often were low, but at motorway speeds, brigde, tunnel, bridge etc.
