• Day 6: France to Italy

    August 2 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F

    After we all met up back at the bus, we had a long drive into Italy.  We stopped at a rest area to get sandwiches to go.

    The Via Ferrata wore everyone out and even Steve and Ari zonked out on the the bus.

    We had dinner reservations in Tremezzo that we were trying to get to. It was a nice restaurant very close to the hotel and we were hoping to have time to get cleaned up and make ourselves pretty. 

    Unfortunately travel delays (long backup at the border followed by a mandatory stop for the driver) evaporated all our dinner prep time.
