On the road to Italy

A couple of pictures from September 9th, when we were on our way from Berlin to the mountains. First break from driving was a late breakfast after about 300 kilomters in a restaurant which is a bridge over the Autobahn. The weather was fine and the coffee surprisingly good.Several hours later and much closer to the border to Austria it was time for lunch. I decided to have a rather sweet lunch and a coffee, again.:-)Then we entered mountain territory...following the endless flood of cars driven by people with similar intentions...

A curiosity by the way: the Italian goverment decided they need a storage lake near Reschen in the middle of the last century. So they just flooded a valley, including a couple of villages. Just the medieval churchtower is still visible...a strange view. (at Wiki)
