Malta to Uk not direct.

The strong wind of the Bora died by morning so we packed and was in the car by 9.30
It was noticeably cooler and not long after we began driving first we had gentle rain then it got harder and harder and colder so we swapped to the motorway to try to outrun it but unfortunately we didn't so we had 4 hours at 12c and at times strong wind combined with very heavy rain. .
We both had our jackets, long trousers and jumpers to try to stay warm. Water was dripping from the top of the windscreen down the dashboard then into my right leg. We stopped a couple of times for coffee and in one we had a good chat with locals as they prepared to play cards. We stopped for lunch at a restaurant come military museum with all sorts of memorabilia and what I thought was soldiers food.
At 3pm we arrived at hotel Preseren on Lack Bled which we booked at 1pm. It is right on the bank of Lake Bled an old traditional but popular hotel with only 8 rooms. It has good reviews for meals so we look forward to that The setting is looking understandably alpine with a castle on a hill and a church in an island as we are close to the border with Austria.
It was only after we checked in did I realise I was really cold. Tomorrow the forecast is saying 20c and no rain. So we will continue north.Read more
