We woke to a foggy morning and as Mark was feeling better we decided to continue our journey northwards into Austria.

 There are a few road options from Ljubljana and we chose the pass towards Klagenfurt. We were lucky that shortly after leaving the city the fog had lifted and we were able to enjoy the beautiful mountain views. 

We stopped at the car park just before the border tunnel to have some breakfast. There were plenty of people about and Mark noticed a lot of old postal motorbikes that we found out were going to have race later on. 

We decided not to hang about and went through the tunnel into Austria where we were surprised to be stopped for passport checks. After the border guard waved us on, we continued down the road towards Klagenfurt but turned left at Hollenburg onto a minor road towards Villach. 

We had a tea break along the way on the banks of Feistritz lake before continuing through Villach. 

We then drove through a beautiful valley with chalets and farms in lovely green fields and cows enjoying the lush grass and sunshine. The craggy mountains surrounded the valley was a feast to the eyes.

We drove through some pretty villages too.

 We got out and strolled around Lienz  where plenty of people were enjoying the lovely day in cafes lining the main square.

 We returned to Bluey and decided to check out a P4N spot not far away along a river on the road towards Mittersill. It looked good so we stayed! Mark took the opportunity to give was Bluey a wash with the never ending supply of the glacial waters from the river.
