Reschen Road, AT

My original plan was to take Brenner Pass to Innsbruck. But a friend (Natalie) convinced me take Reschen Pass instead.

She also convinced me to a further detour and climb Stelvio Pass. At 2758 meter above sea level, it's been the highest I've ever been without flying.

After a big meal back in Italy, I regained my strength and crossed Reschen Pass into Austria.

The cars struggled to pass each other. I was angry because I was getting cold in the rain.

From Santa Maria, it was down hill to get back to Italy. I took the unpaved option
