Leaving Italy

Today, Dee was released from hospital at about 4.30pm with a nifty bag of drugs that will almost get her through to our return to Australia. It was a bit of a decision whether to stay in Bologna for another night or head towards Austria. In the end, Dee was happy to move on, so we did. It's great to be all together again.

She's taking it very carefully and we're not letting her do anything stupid.

Once we were on the highway, we noticed the smell of exhaust fumes in Springy and Gene was saying how hot the back was, even when it was quite cool. We pulled over for dinner and I realised when the mechanics looked at the exhaust pipe, they used the small rubber hangers that hold the exhaust pipe up. The problem was it was too high up and fumes and heat were coming in. I took off 2 of the rubber rings, lowering it down to where it was before. No problems with heat an fumes now but it still needs good long rings to keep it at the distance required and stable.

The mountains we're passing between are amazing with castles and medieval towns all along the way.

We found our campsite for the night, a place at the top of another mountain, this time with wet roads.It's a nice place but horribly expensive due to the high season. We should be in Innsbruck, Austria tomorrow.

Prepare for the confusion of having Australians in Austria!
