2014 Summer vacation-Italy Part 6

We drove to Switzerland, Liechtenstein,Germany and Austria
Border between Italy and Lugano,Switzerland

Driving through the Alps in Switzerland it started to snow! It was awesome!!
Frozen waterfall.





We went through a few tunnels
The neat thing about these tunnels is that they have windows so you can see the mountains.


The view from the window in the tunnel. It was snowing.
