Today we set off rather early in order to get to Cortina d’Ampezzo in time. We had planned to go via Großglockner and Großglockner High Alpine Road. But the weather forecast showed heavy rain through the day. So, we wouldn’t have seen much. Thus we decided to go directly to Cortina. Some of the party went via Innsbruck. But we drove via Lienz instead. Once we got to the Italian side, the sun came out and the roof ment down. While still in Austria, we found a car wash which was well needed.
Driving today was generally good. Since it was Sunday, there were no lorries on the road in Germany or Austria. We once again had some serious rain while on the Autobahn. In total, we drove 486 km today.
Parking facilities at the hotel was disapointing. It turned out that the garage was only accessable via a very narrow ramp down to the basement. So, I ended up scratching one wheel while trying to avoid scraping the front against the wall. The only other option was an outdoor parking area. Not something we fancy in a city with a softtop.
We ended the day at a local restaurang where we finally got to meet the whole group.
