 Just got back today...



Well,

My wife and I just finished unpacking, eating dinner and starting on our 6 loads or so of laundry. Unfortunately, one of our bottles of Chianti broke and ruined a couple items of clothing.

Our trip was awesome. I'll provide a more complete trip report in the next week or so.

Here's a brief rundown...

4-17: Land in Munich and stroll around Olympiapark. Dinner at "Milennium" in Schwabing.
4-18: pick up Bluewater/Black X3 3.0. Saw 4 M6's at the delivery center. Find superwalmart for a 220V hair dryer for the wife. Drive to Bellagio, Italy by way of St. Moritz, Switzerland.
4-19: Tremezzo and Como (in the rain)
4-20: Menaggio and Ravenna
4-21: drive to Rapallo and take the ferry to Portofino to see how "the other half lives"
4-22: drive to Florence by way of San Gimignano. Tour Uffizi Gallery, Santa Croce
4-23: Florence in the morning and Siena in the afternoon, with an amazing dinner at "Ristoro di Lamole" in Lamole, off the 222 "Chianti Road". We got a flat tire on the drive back thanks to an a-hole driver coming up the mountain in the center of the road.
4-24: seats at the Rivazza corner for the San Marino F1 Grand Prix in Imola. Dinner in Bologna in the Emilia Romagna region; home of Lasagne and Parmesan cheese and proscuitto ham
4-25: shopping in Florence and touring the archeological museum in Fiesole
4-26: get flat tire replaced; drive to Maranello to see the Ferrari Museum. As a bonus, get to watch Fillippe Massa test in his Sauber at the Fiorano. drive on to Bolzano.
4-27: tour around Bolzano. Drive down Val Gardena, into "Heart of the Dolomites," about half way to Cortina d'Ampezzo.
4-28: drive to Salzburg so wife can get more "painted eggs." drive back to Munich, drop off car at Harms.
4-29: fly home.

As soon as I go through all the RAW files from the camera, I will post some pics.

Total mileage: 1417
Total spent on gas: 280 euros

Can't wait to see the painted eggs....er...I mean the pics of your car and Italia.

BTW, if this guy assumes my lease (next week) I will be ordering a new ED car. OK, Matthew, should it be the 545 or the new 330? ( manual trans of course) Please don't use the number 550 in your response! Ciao!

Welcome back Mr. Belk. How did you enjoy Rapallo and the Ligurian Italian Riviera?
