Sunday 11th April

Sunday 11th April-----strong winds all night, Beverley slept through it all! Battered us all night long, but we still didn't fall into the sea!!! 1 nil to us!----sunny and warm, but so windy--decided will probably end up sitting in car, so will move---midday on the road again--heading for Lake Balaton Hungary...1pm have just driven up the steepest hill ever to top of mountain to be met by a snow blizzard...They are building the road as we drive--sheer drops and very bumpy. Wasn't expecting to see these conditions until we reached the eastern block! Passed through a bridge dated 1945 with a hammer and sickle on--very spooky! It's freezing cold and snowing--now hailing! Yuk! It was my stupid idea to leave the sunny seaside! -- Very heavy snow storm===2.10 drove out of the storm heading towards Slovenia...suns out getting warmer--stopped at border, Lee severely questioned on why do we carry diesel, why no cigarettes, what are those things on the roof etcetera. Anyway here we are back in the land of the portaloo, as Lee calls it, heading for Ljubljana on 106 keeping a close eye on Sandy satnav, because we don't want to go back to Croatia again because of border control..Satnav behaving 4.45 at Lukovica north of Ljubljana. Lee spota sign on wall 'Walkers exhausts' they are made in Tyseley in Birmingham.---Lots of houses--brightly painted lime green, pink and orange sometimes even on the same house, as if coloured paint has just arrived....Found layby in woods, home for the night,--cooked mash potato, noodles and sweetcorn--watched film-The Time Machine--glass of wine--bed.......
