Travel pictures
After many ski trips in the Alps I finally managed to drive around them. The starting point was Schwarzwald in Germany and panoramic highways, circling around Lake of Constantia (Bodensee), before reaching tiny Liechtenstein. We visited a friend in Alto Adige in Italy, saw Ötzi in Bolzano, before driving through picturesque Piemonte to fancy Monaco, another new country for us. Along the Grand Route des Alpes, one of Europe's most magnificent roads, we reached alpine towns like Briancon and Valloire (where I used to work), drove to Chamonix and Geneve where Heidi went home and Karl appeared. We took some day hikes along Route de Mont Blanc, including visits to Courmayeur, Zermatt and Matterhorn. Unfortunatey Switzerland was rainy so we had to bypass Jungfraujoch. Instead we ended with a couple of days in always wonderful Alsace before heading home.
