detours and $86 tanks of diesel and missed turns

Well we missed the turn off for Innsbruck. The signage here in Europe always reeks . . . I miss more turns and passes in Germany, Italy and Switzerland than I do in Eastern Europe, but as you can see from the pictures, it was worth it. This was one of the most spectacular scenic trips we have ever taken. Even though it took all day to go half the distance we went yesterday, it was worth it.


We were literally on top of the world with the trip over the pass and through the San Bernadino tunnel in eastern Switzerland. The views were breath-stealing and the car was filled with “look here” and “look there!” And the bridges a roads were literally just hanging onto the Alps . . . it was amazing.

BTW, I paid $86.09 for my last tank of diesel today . . . which comes to about $5.73 for a gallon of diesel which is still way cheaper than a gallon of gasoline!

Tomorrow we grab Brenda’s parents from the airport and go to BFA and see the kids!!!! Hooray! Now where is my map?
