[Yak] buses in Italy

[Ted Campbell]

Giovanni,
     thanks for the info of the bus. Yes, I was planning on flying into 
Milan and then taking the train to Tirano.  I was looking at a map and 
it looks like its only about 24 miles to Bormio from Tirano. Do you know 
if the road going that way would be good for riding on? I wouldn't mind 
stretching my legs after the long flight over and train ride.
