  • Waking up to snow!!!

    2. april 2022, Østrig ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C

    After a few chilled days just doing some local exploring around Hallstatt area and doing our work, we unexpectedly woke up to a lot of snow this morning! As we were parked up in the hills we decided to drive down to stay somewhere lower down where it was less snowy and not quite so cold. Found a nice free park up for the night where Tristan met his new best friend - Charlie the local dog 🐶Læs mere

  • Traunsee and driving into Tyrol region

    4. april 2022, Østrig ⋅ ⛅ 2 °C

    Spent the morning near Traunsee lake to do some work. Then went to get LPG and water, and picked up a parcel for Tristan from the UK (took nearly a week to arrive!). We had some lunch by Hallstatt lake outside in the sunshine, and then drove south-west into the Tyrol region.

    Still lots of fresh snow on the mountains!

  • Into Italy 🇮🇹🍕👌🏼

    5. april 2022, Italien ⋅ ⛅ 3 °C

    We decided to venture into northern Italy, driving through the Felbertauerntunnel in the Austrian Mountains where there was lots of deep snow, huge icicles, and frozen waterfalls!

    Passed the Italian border at about midday and stopped for some pizza for lunch. And then continued onto Pragser Wildsee. The lake was completely frozen and lots of snow there too. We did the circular walking route all the way around the lake and had lots of fun in the snow too! Watched the sunset and took some photos, and then went back to the van for a cup of tea whilst we watched the sun finishing setting on the mountains.Læs mere
