Samedan to Bellagio
I'm not sure what road we were on, but I definitely found my favorite today. Unfortunately, I don't have any good pictures of it. I was so awestruck and scared, I couldn't film it. What a nice trail. I will be back for this one.
p.s. Access to the internet and it having decent speed has been a constant problem. I had more luck with the internet in South America.
Having lunch
and sharing stories of the road (my favorite road ever) that we just finished.
However, Joy
took a little bit of video of the spiraling decent (elevator) down the
side of a this mountain. I wished the video was better, but I'll just
come back again one day and do it again (promise). Click in the bottom
right of the video to make it larger.
A quick stop
Easing through
the small towns.
We were mesmerized
that this cattle truck (fully loaded) made it down the section I commented
about earlier.
He has to
use the whole road to make his turns. And, earlier sections were much
tighter?
So far so
good
There's Steve
and Armando held up behind the truck. We were entertained watching him
negotiate the various situations.
Stopping to
wait on the ferry.
What in the
world is this?
Armando struggles
with making new friends?
There's Bellagio
over there
We're headed
for the Hotel Bellagio (the white building) in the town of Bellagio.
It's just
up these stairs on the right.
Armando coming
up to check-in also.
A quick loop
around town behind Armando to park the bikes
The bathroom
is quite small, but very functional.
Looking out
my window.
Looking out
my window to the ferry we just rode.
This floatplane
circled by about three times entertaining us with a buzz.
Late night
dinner followed by a fireworks show. It is our last night of the motorcycle
tour. Joy and I will be departing the group tomorrow for two nights in
Venice (without the motorcycle) before returning home.
