After two nights in Cortina d’Ampezzo we now move on to Brescia. The group had different preferences so we all drove there on our own. Or in smaller groups of 2-3 cars. Some took the opportunity to add some more passes to the list. We ourself took aim at Riva del Garda. The plan was to have lunch there. We drove 304 km today.
On the way to Riva del Garda we got fooled by the GPS. So, we ended up at the toll road towards Brennerpaß. But we managed to get off that and back on track towards Riva del Garda. Last time we visited this area was in 2015. Then we used a garage in Riva del Garda next to the SS45bis road. So, we set out looking for that again. It was still there and had available spaces when we arrived. We had lunch at one of the restaurants in the harbour with a great view of the lake.
The road from Riva del Garda towards Brescia was very busy. Most scary are the cyclists that cycle in the tunnels in dark clothes and no lights on their bikes. What’s wrong with these people? We had planned to get off the main road and go over the mountains. But once more the GPS played us some tricks. So we ended up taking another route which was quicker but less scenic.
Since the hotel restaurant was closed today. We got a recommendation to go to nearby Osteria Vallebtesciana. It turned out to be very good. Well worth visiting if you are in the area.
