Switzerland...

Day Four: Waking up in the middle of nowhere Switzerland...Awesome! Our next drive was south through Switzerland, back into our 'native' Italy, and our hotel was in Genova. Our first sight was this lovely pass...

Then by this amazingly blue lake...

Up Gottard Pass...just look how crazy it is...

Above the tree line...

Above the 'anything' grows line...

To what seemed like the top of the world...we are actually looking into Italy...

The kids loved it...

A very short stop to Milan...

And a wonderful night's sleep in our first air conditioned hotel in Genova...

Have a wonderful and cool day!

Ciao a tutti!

Day Three...

Day Three: This was our 'easiest' day...no plans...all we had to do was make it to our next hotel in Switzerland and according to the directions I found that would only be 3 1/2 hours. Unless you factor in that our hotel was in the empty space in my map...literally! I had found this hotel in the middle of nowhere Switzerland...here's to another adventure!

We woke up in sunny Innsbruck, Austria. Slept in as much as 3 little kids allow. And hit the road. Here is a bit of Innsbruck...

And the surrounding Alps...

One of the many curiosities that we found, were these little outbuildings...they were everywhere...they are tiny...they are smack dab in the middle of hay fields...they were kind of weird...

We took several of the back roads through the Austrian Alps...

Over Flexen Pass...

And down...

We made it to Leichtenstein...

And then into Switzerland...up this mountain...

Drove by this lake...

And made it straight to our hotel! It was literally in the middle of nowhere Switzerland. LITERALLY. It was awesome!

Ciao a tutti!
