Next day out was South to Slovenia, the 6th foreign country of the trip, a drive of just over 2 hours from Schladming to the beautiful Lake Bled with its island church in the middle of the crystal clear lake. The drive included the longest tunnel of our trip, almost 5miles/8km I think with the Austria/Slovenia border right in the middle of it under the mountain! It was 12 years since we had last been to Bled and our kids had never visited.

We took the obligatory tourist gondola over to the island, pushing that thing with 10-15 tourists on board all the way across the lake and back several times a day looks like a good work out to me!

This is as far from home as we would get on this trip, from here onwards it was the return journey.
