• Grossglockner Mountain Pass gawd help me

    June 20, 2024 in Slovenia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Well after consulting the weather apps he decided we are gonna go for it. The highest mountain pass in the Alps. OK for them but who's gonna do all the work? Yer, your's truly!
    Early start gets us south of Zell am See in Austria and after a fuel top up I start the climb forever upwards. Nice road but bugger me I ay ad to work this hard before, me last owners just lazed around posh caravan sites so I just snoozed most of the time. We had a few stops so I could catch me breath and herself could snap away, and then we med the summit with snow by the side of the road and everything.
    Has a nice break and we started down the other side. Well that really gave me brake pads a bit of a work out, but I got em down without a problem and without her giving him a bit of an earful so he was happy bless him.

    Onto a nice camp site for the night while they consider the next move in this long distance jaunt.

    As an aside, our motorhome owners like to give friendly waves to others as they go past. In the UK and France most times waves are given and received so all friendly like. On this trip through Germany and Austria she lifts her hand and nothing comes back from the passing vans. After much pondering he gently explains that it's probably they see her hand action as a Nazi salute, hence the lack of smiles and reciprication.!! oops.............
