Pretty unknown but so nice to drive through, the Dolomites mountains with many extremely beautiful mountain passes… Yihaaaa!
That’s what we call “winding roads”….. yes we drove the buses there!
The buses performed flawlessly….
We took a break in Cortina D’Ampezzo for the night as season was real slow we got a super deal in this nice hotel… it was all ok, except breakfast was kind of poor… but I kind a liked this picture…
I could post a thousand pictures, but this one stands out a little bit for me…
Now we had tested passes enough to do the real work tomorrow…. going up the Grossclockner! Stay tuned!

Felts your VW sign on your bus …
Someone stole the VW sign on your Bus ?
Hi Kevin
no the sign was loose and so we took off and stored in the sparewheel to avoid to loose it…
but thanks for mentioning it…

Wow, Bob, at last I’ve found someone who loves the Dolomites as much as my wife and I did when we drove out 1967 split window VW bus through there that same year. I found them more spectacular than the Swiss Alps on the other side of the border.
You might be interested in the book I wrote about that long, long 12,000 mile road trip, “Letters to Zerky, a Father’s Legacy to a Lost Son and a Road Trip Around the World.” If so, you can learn more about it on my website. And good luck on your journey, fellow traveler.

Hi Bill
nice of You to check in!
Yes I know now for a couple of years the Dolomiti are extreme beautiful, but I guess you would be dissapointed when You would go back today, as last 48 years didn’t do that good, and also i Dolimiti do have a lot of modern stuff around, but still it was a really nice trek…
Traveling a splittie these days is also a little more adventourous like back in the day, a smodern traffic many times don’t understand why you’re “dslow” uphill”, but as always I did enjoy every single minute…or make that second of it
very impressive website! very nice tales… zerky must be proud of You… I can only advice your book to everybody i do know!
talk soon
Bob
