Another breakdown and flooding in Slovenia and Austria
The Beast stuck at a garage and massive flooding gave some challenges the last daysA warm morning at Camping Motel Makó as we planned to go to Slovenia Fridtjof found his new best friends thereThe Beast needed service on shock absorbers, so started the day at a Land Rover garage, the Roverland Kft Landy and Fridtjof loved waiting at the garage, because they had free access to a swimming pool (pond) Back on the road it didn’t take long before The Beast had another problem, this time more seriousBest of luck that we already knew a LR garage nearby! And even more that David at Roverland was willing to work on it Friday eveningSo more waiting at the pondHercules had to go back alone to the campsite in Makó A site decorated by someone very creativeDuring afternoon and night we had the rainstorm plaguing Hungary and nearby countries David at Roverland Kft continued working on The Beast through Saturday – and managed to find a solution! So Sunday we were back on the road, again thanks to Land Rover entusiasts that don’t give up! Still a bit grey weather Stopped by police – immigration, they claimed, but we were only passing through Finally in SloveniaWeather improved, but still struggling with flooding many places Autokemp Kekec in MariborNext day travelling through Slovenia to Austria was very challenging due to flood closing many roads. Difficult to find info, and had to turn around and find new route several timesHad to make detours on small mountain roads, which is what we like! Rivers were big and brownFound a place at Europark in Obervellach in Austria, an overfilled campsite, but very dog friendly And great views on our morning walk Next goal: mountain passes between Austria and Italy
