Day 6 & 7 - Goodbye comfort zone, it was nice with you!

Due to the previously described police control, we reached Vienna late. After driving around the 13th district for some time without success in search of a parking space - unfortunately Gretchen was about 30 cm too high for Park & Ride - we decided to head to a campsite for the first time.

For the first night, thanks to the late hour, we simply sneaked into the associated parking lot, effectively halving the price for two nights. In the meantime, we replenished our drinking water supplies, charged our spare battery a little through the power outlet, and enjoyed the first warm shower in a week.

For our time in Vienna, we got some hot tips from Ariel, an acquaintance from Daimler - thanks again!

We don't want to bore you with the details of our tourist life here. However, highlights definitely included the Wiener Prater in the evening (admission free), the ride on the Ferris wheel there (admission not free at all), and, strange as it may sound, the waste incineration plant.

It's right in the middle of Vienna, right next to the Spittelau subway station. At least it is very nice to look at, because its extravagant facade was designed by none other than Friedensreich Hundertwasser. As someone from Plochingen, his style of construction is very familiar to me, but a waste incineration plant with a golden tower and colorful windows is still very original. Unfortunately, we couldn't participate in one of the guided tours because you have to register in advance, but if we ever find ourselves in Vienna again, it's definitely on the agenda!

We need to digest so much culture for now, and we are really looking forward to being in Slovenia soon, where we want to spend a few days in Triglav National Park. It feels like the adventure is just beginning - after all, we are now traveling to a country about which we have only been (very sparsely) informed in travel guides. Besides, we have no idea how we will communicate there. But without knowledge of the local language, police checks can actually only become more entertaining. From now on, it's finally out of the comfort zone and into nomad life!

Until then, wok on!
