St Bernards Pass

Well we finally arrived in Turin after many hour of fun going over St Bernards Pass. On the way from Besancon we had to go via Lake Geneva and take photo's of different items and answer question relating to lots of things in the town.
The weather was dreadful it rained most of the day.
Phil enjoyed the many hand brake turns that just had to be done on the hairpin corners on the mountain pass. We then found some other chaps calls the L'aime Ducks who very kindly offered us lunch after they were impressed with the hand brake turn Phil performed and ended up parked along side them. Thanks for the Wine and Cheese guys.
I know the rule don't condone the foolish racing but the three lads in the Saab 900 deserved to be undertaken on the hard shoulder at about 98mph. Sorry we shit you up, but this isn't a Sunday afternoon drive. Get a grip lads.
We then made it into Turin, well all we can say is "good luck" if you intend going into this city see if they have a Park & Ride.
Crazy Italians playing chicken with ten lanes of traffic going into one.Tomorrow we are off to Monte Carlo we may go through the tunnel or we may go over the top of the mountain. Who knows see you later.
P.S thanks for the surprise hotel Maz is was good to get a comfortable bed and a good nights sleep.
