Traveling Rellies
My eldest nephew Dan is on an epic tour of Euroland with Briony in their faithful campervan 'Big Bluey'. Why this name?... beats me as it is neither... even if they say it is. I know, I've seen it and been in it even while it was on the move.
Anyway, they paused briefly with us in the South Tyrolean valley of Val Venosta, but I'll let them fill you in on their time here on their own blog brionyanddan. As a contributing 'sponsor' I'm just adding some images and a movie of their impressive adventure.
It was great having them here and they promised to come back and conquer the Stelvio Pass on bicycles... well Dan did anyway and he also volunteered the rest of his family too although they don't realise it yet.
For those that don't know, the Stelvio Pass (2760m) is the second highest road in the Alps (the highest is only 12m higher), it has 48 hair-pin bends, very popular with cyclists, motorcyclists and car enthusiasts from afar, just ask Jeremy Clarkson. It takes a very long time to get to the top in a 20 yr old camper and almost as long to come down again without melting the brakes completely.
