2018 Euro Alpine Road Trip

Day 3 - The Sella Pass......finally!

Another German breakfast of chees, meat and bread and we were on our way again.



Today was the day i decided to use my cheap Chinese GoPro knockoff camera. I attached it to my tow hook eye mount and screwed it into the bumper. Dead, it wouldn't even turn on! I tested before travelling and all good. After plugging in some charge it came to life, so left it to charge whilst we continued on to the summit of our first pass of the day, the Timmelsjoch. However, at the summit i had a little thought.....where is my tow hook cover? Yup, on the floor on the Austrian side of the Timmelsjoch! So if anybody finds a tow hook cover from a LCI E90 in Azurite Black....it's mine!

We tackled the Timmelsjoch back in 2016 and the weather was awful and to be honest it wasn't much better this time around















More fog



Looked like the German R8 Owners Club was also in attendance



But thankfully, the Italian side was much nicer weather







The hairpinned road of the descent



Then onto the Jaufenstrasse / Passo Giovo......







And some amazing cake from here!





Then it was Penserjoch







And finally, the Sella Pass! In 2016 we had to give it a miss, due to running out of time and then in 2017 we were due to drive it on a Wednesday that it was closed to combustion engined vehicles.













More roadworks!



And the first of many that night!



Total driving time (including stops/fuel ups/etc) - 10 hours / 272 miles
