Default Going on a roadtrip, Suggestions?

A friend of mine, she loves to drive and is an awesome driver. She asked me what I thought about going on a roadtrip next weekend. Currently I have suggestions for the Davos-Stelvio or the Millau bridge.

Millau is around ~900km from here and Davos is ~500km. I wanna be doing some photography too, so picturesque places are in consideration.

For those who might need it, I am located at 76646 Bruchsal, Germany images/smilies/smile.gif

Thanks

Alok

Stelvio Pass currently looks like this. I think the Stelvio is seasonal (due to weather and possibility of being killed to death), and Wiki seems to back this up. It'd be a shame to go to Italy to find it shut.

I'm not sure, but at the least I'd check the weather / the web further.

You can always go to Poland to get some cheap diesel... though that isn't as exciting since you live in Germany.

Next weekend isn't really appropriate for a roadtrip anyway, the weather will be bleak and freezing.

Hmm, is it that girl you defended a couple weeks ago?
Either way, whoever it is is interested in you, otherwise they wouldn't have invited you on a roadtrip.

There, I saved you the trouble of figuring this out for yourself. images/smilies/tongue.gif

The Alps in wintertime are definately one of the most beautiful places in the world, just make sure you have winter tyres and snow chains with you. From Stelvio you could go east towards Venice were Spring might have already started.

The region of the Alps east of Stelvio Pass, the Dolomites, is where my father comes from, so I know the area a bit and could give you some tips there, just tell me.

If you want to do some photography on your trip as well, I'd just let the weather forecast decide - the Alps are a spectacular view only if they aren't covered in mist all the time for example. Might I suggest the French or Italian mediterrain coast if you don't fancy a trip to the Alps? The northeast of France has a wide choice of enjoyable B-roads by the way, although I couldn't suggest a specific road!
