Today was a travel day between Vienna, Austria and Lake Bled, Slovenia. Driving out of Vienna is always challenging but after 40 minutes, we finally made it out. The first hour of the drive was dry but then the next 4 hours was a series of downpours. It made the drive extra long because it was raining so hard you couldn’t see the road. Our plan was to go a couple of hours and do a hike around Grüner Lake in Austria. We stopped there and were one of the very few cars in the lot. It looked like it might stop raining enough for us to run out and see the lake, so we did just that. The thunder and lightning storm came in right as we got to the lake so we really saw one little corner instead of hiking around the lake. From what I could see, I will have to make sure I come back some day to see the full lake.

From there, we got back in the car for another 3 hours. It was a constant downpour for most of it. We had to pay a toll before entering a very long tunnel between Austria and Slovenia but finally arrived at Lake Bled. The person working at the hotel said it has been a very raining April and May. I don’t think today was any exception. It wasn’t raining too bad in the evening so I was able to get a little walk in. Fingers crossed tomorrow isn’t has rainy.
