Giorno Sei
Cavolo! Looking at the weather, we decided that today would be a good day to get in the car and drive. Bormio was nice, but the weather outlook was shitty. Marco at the Hotel Nevada was a great host, but we needed to get somewhere where we at least had a chance to ride. We drove over the Stelvio in the rain (so glad we rode it the day before - so I threw in a pic of Angela descending from yesterday). On the way up we saw about 2 women and 7 or 8 guys rollerskiing up the Stelvio - holy shit! This isn't like rollerskiing up Mt B - this is full on crazy. It looked like these guys were all from some team, we just couldn't tell which team - sorry Bert. We got to the top and it was pretty foggy and rainy so we went down the other side (slower coming down than we did on bikes). We hit the Autostrada (Autobahn) and headed thru Bolzano then up and over a pass down to Corvara. Angela spotted a few cool looking castles along the way and took a couple of photos. Corvara is a tiny little ski town located on the Sella Ring, which is a 50km loop over 4 passes - it looks awesome, but the weather looks like shit. We stopped at an Internet Cafe - and it looks like the weather all over Italy is shitty for the next few days. Tomorrow is supposed to be only partly rainy - so we might give it a go. We thought about driving south, but really, the rains are all over right now - so we may as well stay here, do some laundry, and have some beer! Go figure - it was 80 degrees and sunny up until last week! Argh!
We just got back from another delicious dinner. No complaints about the food so far - except for the orange scrambled eggs....
