Took off in the dark from Bolzano and thrashed around the mountains for a bit as the sun rose. Excellent photo scenery and lovely 16xAA while listening to Broken Social Scene and that great engine sound =D

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

They're quite close to each other, just some mountains in the way but there may be a road.
I visited Bolzano for an evening 5 years ago when skiing at nearby Passo Tonale - we were meant to get the real Italian Pizzeria experience but to be honest (and my friends agreed), I much prefer Pizza Express in town here.
My wife and I made the mistake of assuming Bolzano was an Italian town when we first arrived a few years ago. Figured out pretty quick that the residents think of themselves more as southern Austrians than northern Italians. Once I switched to speaking German, we got much friendlier faces. I had some of the best apples I've ever eaten in my life in Bolzano... simply magnificent little things. It's a gorgeous town and an amazingly picturesque area.

The scenery is from flightsim.com, search for 'ItalVFR'. There was a topic about it here a while back.
I don't remember noticing if everyone spoke German when I was there. I have only visited Italy once but over the border in Austria we used to get discount pizzas from a fairly nice little café because we had instructor badges and I think they were very similar to taste :gossip:
