Mount Vesuvius.
Fried Fish.
The Swiss Alps.That is the order of the countries we passed through in the last two weeks. Yes two weeks ago TODAY (it being Wednesday over here) we left for our grand car adventure. Now two weeks later, much more savvy in the ways of car travel, replete with stories and full of Angel Babies we have come back to Switzerland to regroup and then take off on another adventure. Except we lost Wesley somewhere back in Italy. We have his hat and sunglasses, but the man just up and disappeared. Perhaps he was raptured.
Our trip started out with an epic pan of the Swiss Alps which degenerated into free wheeling around corners when the engine cut out. Try that heart stopper on for size, Swiss Alps, no guard rail to speak of and car with no power steering. Thankfully Schyler figured out what was wrong, the altitude was so much that the engine wasn't getting the oxygen it needed and then when he clutched around the corners the engine died. From there on it was a piece of cake, we only screamed on the REALLY scary corners. The first night was spent at a truck stop sleeping in the car, my concern was not to smash the bread which was in the back with me, Wesley's concern was not to get murdered.
Getting into Croatia was easy we just drove through, didn't even have to show our passports or anything. Driving down the coast was a treat, the lovely sparkling blue waters were so beautiful to look at. And our spirits weren't to dampened by the freakish black, spiny things that lived in the water because it was so warm.
The food was good, good pizza and wonderful, WONDERFUL fried calamari! It was the best.
There is way more to tell but I'll post this right now so you can read about how much fun we are having. Also the pictures are not in order so just guess at what we are taking pictures of.
