After one night of driving, the mountains towered up in front of me.
That landscape was magnificent and impressive.
I’ll will never forget the following days on narrow mountain roads. A sublime adventure.

We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place, we stay there, even though we go away. And there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there.
