| A ROADTRIP OF 120 MILES TO TOUCH THE SKY BEYOND THE CLOUDS |
It's a perfect day to take my motorcycle and I decide to go direction North-West relatively to my hometown, and to arrive to the majestic mountains that mark the borderline between two Italian regions Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto. My double aim is 1) to visit the town of Sappada, reachable through a majestic serpentine and 2) to ride in spite of the threatening clouds, that could announce a thunderstorm!
Enjoy the pictures...

FINALLY, I WAS ON THE SERPENTINE UP TO THE TOWN OF SAPPADA
AND THE CLOUDS BEGAN TO DISSIPATE.
WHEN I REACHED THE TOP, THE SUN WAS SHINING ON A BLUE BLUE SKY!
