Okay, I’m not REALLY sorry. Like I said, I’m having fun. And since that’s this week’s theme, here’s some snapshots for proof…
Passo dello Stelvio is in the Italian Alps, not very far from Switzerland and Austria. Actually, we’re staying near Innsbruck, so we rode through Austria into Italy specifically to traverse this pass. We did a little bit of riding in Switzerland on the way back, too.
There’s a ski resort at the top. There’s not much snow left, but there’s a glacier, and people are still skiing.
I was quite happy to reach the top of this very challenging pass in one piece and without dropping my bike or riding off the side of the mountain.
This was THE coolest riding day ever for both of us.
The road actually winds down the side of the mountain below where Hubby is standing.
This last shot is the only artsy one I took specifically for You Capture. If you want to see what other folks did for fun this week, be sure to visit Beth’s site.
WOW those are some SERIOUS hairpin turns!!! I bet they were fun on a motorcycle! 🙂 Thank you for sharing this WHILE you’re traveling! (I hope you brought an extra big memory card!)
Hey Lady! Looks like you’re having a great time! Enjoy!
Love all the pics.
INCREDIBLE!!! First of all, the scenery, and second that you’re traveling in Europe! with your bikes! But most of all that you’re SO BRAVE!!!! And also that you’re joining You Capture from way over there. I haven’t seen everybody elses pictures yet but, I know for sure, YOU WIN!!!
Stillmary, the bikes are rentals. We’re on a group tour thing. But they are awesome. I feel like I am driving in a motorcycle video game. 🙂
When I saw this week’s “fun” theme, I knew I’d have something to share.
I might not win for best picture, but I bet I am having the most fun. LOL
WOW! Talk about fun! What great shots, and adventures!
Gorgeous views! And riding motorcycles up there? OMG that sounds like so much fun!
Amazing pass – cudos for being brave enough to do that on a bike! The last picture gives be vertigo just looking at it!
holy crap, those mountains are AMAZING!!! Seriously breathtaking!
Omg, these photos are amazing. I’m with stillmary on this…you totally win!
I would say to have fun, but you clearly are. So keep up the good work!
Wow that does look fun, now get off the computer and go back to vacation!!
That looks like so much fun! I would love to do that sometime, minus the motorcycles, I’m a chicken.
My mom is jealous you are near Innsbruck 🙂 That was our favorite town in Austria to visit!
Oh wow, wow, WOW your last shot. I’m sure you’re having an amazing time there! 😀
Oh man, oh man! I think I know where I’m going the next time it’s trip time!
Holy crap! I’ve heard about that place! So glad you took pics etc.
I bet its an amazing vacation. So cool. (Those Bm’ers look nice but you should have rented Ducs – wink wink)
Monstergirlee, your comment made me smile. “Ducs” (Ducati motorcycles for my readers wondering what that means) were an option, but we chose the BMWs. I’m glad, too. Because they were so much fun!
