The first thing that happened after we winded our way up about 8 hairpin turns was that we had to pay a toll to go through a 6 mile tunnel - the toll was 43 Euros round trip! Oh, well, at that point, we had a bunch of cars lined up behind us, so we just paid it and proceeded on.
Luckily we had our trusty GPS - we probably went through 30 round -abouts before we arrived at the place where we parked. We certainly feel a lot more confident driving after our trip today.
The city was really fascinating - it was founded in 25 BC by the Romans at the junction of the major roads leading to what is now France and Switzerland. Here you can see a couple of pictures of some of the leftover structures from the Roman settlements.
