Day4 Today was going to be fun!!! We were heading for the Alps and this time on purpose! As we were leaving the Grand Hotel, Trento the staff thanked us for bringing our eclectic mix of sports cars....felt like a rock star! Leaving Trento Our first task was finding fuel in Italy on a Sunday morning....not easy especially if you need 'super'. Finally found a petrol station....no super unleaded though We headed for the Swiss border where for the first time we found border patrols, they took one look at our 2 seaters and just waved us on....not the people smugglers vehicle of choice! Switzerland Taking a break! F Type, M3, RS3 and 370Z We was enjoying ourselves so much we drove straight through Switzerland and in to Liechtenstein, we only realised when we saw the unfamiliar number plates!

Again the weather was fantastic, high 20's plus nice roof down weather as the 3 roadsters were out together it would be rude not to! On route we stopped at a little place for lunch..... Frankenstein Castle Frankenstein Jacques in Frankenstein Lunch Time in Frankenstein! Found a nice little restaurant with many gargoyles and statues of crows? As it was very hot by this time we elected to dine inside but being as it was Frankenstein there was a wake going on inside so we ate in the garden instead! Apart from our lunch break today was really just about getting to Bavaria our next overnight stop. Thanks to a series of accidents on the autobahns around Munich we arrived in Kochel am See in the dark.  We were the last to arrive and found that th
