We left Italy this morning but not before Lorraine insisted we
eat real Italian pizza last night before headed back north
toward Austria and Germany today. She had zero resistance from
me as I share her affinity for the best pizza in the world.
It was not too difficult a day, relatively speaking. We had only
one moderate pass to survive, the Passo Pennes with an altitude
of 7250 feet, followed by some afternoon showers after crossing
into Germany.
Take a ride along with us below for about a minute as we descend
from the pass near Brennaro, Austria on our way to Innsbruck and
another climb. The white car in front of us is our friends Peter
Sharples and Mike Bell from the UK. Their car along with ours
are two of just three true Fiat 500s on the rally that still
have the original non-syncromesh "crash" gearbox and 500cc
engine.
Tonight we are in the German lakeside town of Bernreid. Tomorrow
is the penultimate day of the rally and we will hopefully make
it to Bretten Germany. Along the way are several museums to
visit plus we will end the day in Bretten's historic town square
where we have been permitted to park and enjoy the surrounding
local bars and scenery.
