Getting ready for my three day drive to.......the ALPS

Looks like a lot of fun. You were lucky: blue sky every day and not a lot of traffic. September seems to be the perfect time for a trip to the Alps.

It was a lot of fun, and I never expected the weather to cooperate the way it did!
As far as traffic goes I literally saw what seemed like at least 10.000 Motorcycles, give or take a few...
But most of them played along nicely.
Those roads are narrow and have many many blind turns.
It happened a few times that guys on their bikes were half way into my lane coming around a turn. But it all turned out well.
The good thing was that I didn't see a single accident thru the entire trip (which was quite surprising to me, given the fact that most bikers don't seem to go to the Alps for a casual drive to enjoy the view...).

yep, somewhere over Lindau.
What you see on the right side in the lake is the jetty of the mouth of the Rhine River

Absolutely great stuff! I feel like I went on vacation after looking at those pics!
