Day 2, 31/03/08: Entering Italy

Like i already mentioned, crossing the Alps was fairly easy, and around 21.30h i entered Italy. Even though it was a dark night, i could still understand that i was crossing a really beautifull landscape (by the way, this is close also to the Slovenian border). My objective was stop for the night in Udine, but that was not possible for two reasons:
1st - i entered Italy with very low fuel, since i thought that it would be cheaper to fill up in Italy than in Austria (wrong). Because of that, and mainly because i was crossing mountainous region, there where not that many petrol stations. The outcome was that i needed to exit the highway where i was, and make use for the first time of my 5l jerrycan because the reserve light was blinking.
2nd - i was feeling tired and sleepy after more than 12h on the road and 800km.
When i woke up in Gemona del Friuli, this was the view of my....parking place.
Ps: Maybe the picture is not very clear, so just some small notes. On the botton of that mountain, there is really a city over there. Also, 10m away from my car there is a train viaduct, but i only found out this while i was sleeping. Because when i parked the car, i didnt saw shit, and now comes the ironic part, i didnt stoped near the main road because i wanted a less noisy place...
