July 21
We packed up early and heading into the dreaded Alps to get to Italy. Poor Landy was tyres all a-shiver at the thought of it, but she certainly manned up and did the job, and showed us some incredible scenery. It must've been 35 degrees most of the way, but there were snow-capped mountains all around us. It was such an awesome sight, and not nearly as scary as I had expected, although Eli was driving and might not agree. Once over the mountains – (2100m high at some points) – we headed for Como, through some landscapes that reminded me of Fourways (only Joburg people will understand). Finally we got to the campsite and realised that it will be a long time before we see another proper bed. Italy is incredibly hot in July, but Im sure everyone knows this already.
