Cortina to Bressanone

We walked around Cortina this morning and found a lot of car club type activity.
The Ferrari owners club were there showing off the cars and maybe a bit of ego!





We ran into two guys wearing tee shirts, one said Cor and the other said Tina, they were from, wait for it, the Cortina owners club.

We chatted for a while and they were surprised that I got the connotation, I told them about a Cortina parked next to our hotel. See below.





This was an iconic car of the 1960s, if you had a Cortina 1600 GT you were the cats ass back then.
Of course the motorcycles parked next to it have bigger engines.
In fact that Cortina engine would not run the A/C on my truck.

We rode out by Lake Misurina with 14 hairpin turns in short succession.
Big old Harleys, poor handling, no performance at low revs, not ideal, but what else would we ride?

The scenery was absolutely stunning,we came out through the Dolomites into a long valley and headed to Bressanone.




We stopped at a ruined 15th century castle, largely because we thought that there might be a useable 15th century rest room.




No such luck, we had to ride on to the hotel.
OK it was not far away, but Ms. GPS got us into a pedestrian only zone, fortunately a young guy came and asked where we were headed, he gave us directions out of the zone.




Down town.






The main drag.
