Day 6 - Locating DPF Cleaner and heading back to Italy
Looking out from the hotel window, could see the weather wasn't much better than yesterday, but hey, who cares?
But before any passes. DPF cleaner was required and it appears in Austria, you can't pop into a supermarket and just buy it, like in the UK. Nor did any petrol stations stock it. After locating a Bosch Garage, luck! They had some. In the tank it went, hoping it would help. It didn't.
Now, Monte Zoncolan is one of my fav passes. There are 3 routes to the top, and the 3rd is by far, the most dangerous. Minimal passing points, very narrow road, potholes, gravel road in places. Will have to dig out some photos, can't find any as yet. Monte Zoncolan is extremely famous due to it's links with the Giro d'Italia.
But this is the way down, a much better quality road.
It's a tough drive which requires much concentration. However, once at the bottom.......beer time.
Due to spending time locating DPF cleaner, the route was amended slightly. Straight to Passo Giau. You can recognise the Dolomites anywhere!
Hotel for the night.
Pizzeria. It was a long walk, but i coped!
Finally, beer!!
Total driving time (including stops/fuel ups/food/etc) - 6 hours / 221 miles
