There are some nice spots to drive here but for me they are not close. I'm looking at minimum 500km to any decent scenery. Southern Ontario is very developed. Lots of highways but not a lot of fun to drive. They get you places and that's about it. The good part is that if you like wide open spaces we have lot in abundance. The 3 prairie provinces are a long stretch of nothing until you go north. Then the roads are very limited. In Canada if you go to where the roads are interesting you will find them quite isolated as well. |

Julier Pass, one of Switzerland’s most scenic roads🇨🇭 with high an elevation of 2.284m. In 2009 the road was rebuilt to reduce the number of serpentine turns. We're wondering about the weather forecast will be but here's a sneak peak of different scenarios.

If there is time, might be worth going in the ice cave / glacier.

$1280. CAD $.....Starting to look cheaper to ship it back and forth. Not that I would. Really the deal BMW offers to pick up at their BMW center is a good deal. Drive around and they ship it to you here when your done. Even insurance for the first few weeks. Shipping is the same as I paid to get it here anyway. So that would have been a good deal really. |

Still rollin Day 4 is Bernina Pass🇨🇭 ‐ We'll be having a love/hate affair with the Bernina Pass. The view is basically great but there's too
much things that ruin it at the same time. Frequent speed controls on this road, we know all about it...

Bormio – Passo Della Stelvio🇮🇹 /// This is where we end up our beautiful Day 4 journey. The Bormio side from the Stelvio is probably not the best known but for us it's the nicer side. We'll really like the road, probably as it seems like it's less busy on this side. Surface is acceptable.
Watch out for mountain goats crossing the road.🦌

Day 5 - Stelvio Pass (Passo dello Stelvio, Stilfser Joch) in Italy is one of the most famous driving roads in Europe – and the world. It is the highest paved road in the Eastern Alps with an elevation of 2,757m above sea level, and the second highest paved road in the whole Alps. With around 60 hairpins in total it is a road that ended up on many road trip enthusiasts bucket lists after they saw the iconic Top Gear episode ‘In search of driving heaven’, with Jeremy Clarkson concluding that Stelvio Pass was “the greatest driving road in the world”.

For such a trip we will look forward to be supplied with some tools that will help us to engage each other. This set of walkies-talkies hopefully will do the job. Does anyone have experience with such specially on high altitude scene?
Any feedback is welcome! Motorola Talkabout T82 Extreme Walkie Talkies, Twin Pack, B8P00811YDEMAG, 20 x 5 x 3 cm
