We travelled non-stop in pouring rain and low cloud from Lake Konigsee, through Austria to Lake Faakersee, on the border of Slovenia. Faakersee is known amongst bikers as the venue for the annual European Bike Week, in which Harley-Davidson is a major player. As we've never been there, we decided to stay overnight on the banks of this lake - pricey at 25 Euros. The 2012 event had just finished three days prior to our arrival and evidence of marquees and stalls were still visible. And the rain continued all night ....
On to Slovenia the next morning and it was much the same thing, so we continued on until the outskirts of Zagreb in Croatia. All in all about 400 miles over the two days, with regular stops for tea, a sandwich etc as we travel. We seldom exceed 60mph (100km/h) and usually the cruise control is set at 95km/h which keeps us ahead of the trucks and lorries on motorways.
Scenery and what did we see? Not much! The decision to travel over those two days was deliberate, based on the weather forecasts.
Zagreb in Croatia is a whole new story - stay tuned.
