After a bit of a video chat with my best friend back home, I packed up the car and headed down the mountain. Lucky there was a lot less traffic on the way down than there was on the way up. Mind you once I hit the city it was jammed.\u00a0 I followed the lake for a bit, before having to turn inland and back track a little bit to head the right direction. <\/span><\/div>\n

I them came across Maggie\u2019s nemesis. Tunnels, one after the other after the other, I\u2019m guessing 20km of tunnels with a gap of 100m to 500m between each one. They varied from 250m to 3 or 4km in length.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

The drive towards Valmalenco followed the valley floor through numerous towns. Most of which had traffic jams. But not too bad. Eventually I turned off and headed up one of the hills about 8km.<\/span><\/div>\n

It\u2019s a picturesque ski town. Surrounded by snow topped mountains. Unfortunately much like the rest of southern Europe it has a heavy haze which makes getting a good photo pretty much impossible. But that\u2019s okay, I have seen it. I kind of hoped the cable car would be operating, it would have been nice to pop up another 500m, even if there was no view. <\/span><\/div>\n
It was then time for lunch and a relaxing afternoon reading my book. <\/span><\/div>\n
