Timmelsjoch

Up around 8am, breakfast and off. Decided to take a look at Fussen as it was so close, and posted as the end of the romantic route on one map. Guess what,  an open bike shop who had 2 tyres in the size we needed.  Identical tyres,  one 43 euros the other 45. The owner saw the funny side and was very friendly,  impressed with our pinnerello.  He was saying he sells mostly electric now.
Headed for Imst  and our first coffee and cake.  Then we made our way to Solden for a picnic lunch in a spot of shade we found.  There at the next coffee house the waiter suggested we would have to wait for morning to purchase our toll for the coming pass. Perplexed we drove on, after many switchbacks and climbing we came to the pay booth, 16 euros we were on our way to Italy.
Large vehicles were discouraged,  motor homes 70 euros,  so no large vehicles on this small roaded pass, hundreds of motor bikes.
Several miles after the toll, and a lot more climbing,  we reached the top-21 degrees,  first time we'd been cool for a while. Understatement is to say the road and views were impressive - wow timmelsjoch. 2500 metres,  most of the last section I was in second,  occasionally first and thats not on our bikes.  We had seen several in lycra .
After taking in some mountain air we started the decent,  even more impr...........

Tom Tom let us down for a campsite but google came to the rescue,  so around 4:30 we checked in realising erecting tents in 31.5 is hard.  Gave up erecting and bee lined for the adjacent outdoor swimming pool - great.
As we swim the clouds roll in thank goodness.
While driving it's so hot with the windows open  we realise the air con is working well in our car.
