• Weak week > strong

    Friday – travel “No, your car is too big for a normal parking place so you’ll have to pay €4,50 instead of €3,00 per day”. Our car is actually smaller and shorter then a modern T5, station or other larger car. It only looks bigger because of the campervan-box on the back. We refused to …

  • Ouray to Saas Fee
