The  was falling more and more heavy  so we have to drive slowly, around 5-10kmh, because if too fast it would be too easy to drtop from the mountain and we met couple of cars stopped. But the view is quite beautiful and amazing. We saw sun setting behind mountains, so we stopped and took many pictures. At last we came to the hotel we booked.
