Trip to the...read on and you will find out

in #travel5 years ago

Hello, my dear Steemians... I know I usually post at a different time of the day, but yesterday evening I was just way too tired to function.

Firstly I woke up at five o'clock in the morning, double checked everything, drove the girls to the kindergarten, say sweet goodbye, and went to work. Ok, you may think what a boring intro, this is just her everyday routine, and why is she writing all that. Well, the morning really started like every other working day in the week, but it progressed quickly... When I came to work, I was there only until 10 o'clock, then we took our bags and suitcases, and sat in the minivan. I and my best friend took the place in the back row, to have control over everything, but at the same time, we had could distance ourselves from others when needed.

We started the journey in Slovenia, where we were, after the freezingly cold weekend, greeted by the lovely sun, accompanied by the strong and still chilly wind. During double checking, if I have documents, papers, and other things I forgot to take a picture of the nature surrounding us. But quickly after we got used to warming sun rays through the windows a hard realization... On the other side of the Karawanks tunnel (in Austria) the weather isn't the same... Which sun? Which green fields and mountains?

Steep snow-covered hills were all around us, and fog with snowflakes was starting to hug our van. Dear universe what are you thinking, when you brought us snow in May?

After making more kilometers along Austria the climate yet again changed, and we were finally to see again some greens.The trip wasn't so smooth as we planned. Roadwork made us late, and we had to move slowly, with stops in between for many kilometers. But hey, when we passed the origins of such a situation, everything was going back to the usual speed. A long slow drive took its toe, and we had to make a stop to stretch legs. We stopped at Chiemsee, a wonderful lake in Germany when we were greeted by this little fellow.

But he wasn't alone.

This guy brought some friends with, so I couldn't resist taking a photo of them.

On the vast views on the majestically big lake, we rest our eyes, and then went back into the van to go on. We passed the Allianz arena when the weather was still way too cloudy.

But finally, we were able to see some sun rays shining through thick clouds. The last landscapes we saw were yellow, bright, and full of canola, which was standing out from the green fields around it.

The trip lasted long ten and a half hours, instead of planned right. But it was nice. The company was nice, and I laughed like I wasn't in a while, so my cheeks are still hurting today.

As you can imagine, we were pretty exhausted at the end, and when we arrived at the guesthouse in Westerheim, where we had our reservations, we didn't see anything else like the warm, comfortable bed.

I slept like an angel, and after making this long post I don't have much time to get ready, for breakfast, and then for our visit of the fair Control 2019 in Stuttgart. I will keep you updated. Have a nice day.

Oh, the scenery or rather the weather will get better, soon! I promise.I hope! :) How exciting to go away and leave everything behind. I laughed for you when you said your cheeks hurt from laughing...

That is so good for you, yes?

Snow now is yuck! We are still cold here too!

Wow, that is horrible to have such weather, snow and fog in May. I can imagine how you felt. But luckily this weekend it is promised to be warmer, hope you will enjoy it :)

There was snow in Minnesota on May 8th. We have sunshine and blue sky and very warm weather here in Idaho just now, and I am loving it. I hope your expedition goes well from now on!
