The trip you have been postponing for twenty years
The window rolled down on the Bernina. The smell of warm leather in St. Moritz. The ferry gliding across Lake Constance with the cars lined up. And at the end, Lake Garda at sunset, with the parade along the Sirmione waterfront.
Not a race. A grand crossing.
