Another
stunning day weather wise, not so stunning car wise. We left our site
to drive the short distance to Kals but just before we went through
the Felbertauern tunnel, about 5 miles long and costing 11 Euros, Roy
noticed the DPF light on in car, which we only had fixed just before
coming away and then the engine light came on. We turned back and
found a campsite at Matrei in Osttirol, a beautiful place surrounded
by mountains but in the main valley, tried to find a garage but it was
closed so we left van and drove 157 miles to Lienz to Nissan garage
which was almost closed. The man who did not speak English looked at
the lights and said come back Monday at 8am. Well we think that's what
he said! My brother Jim who lives in France was great very helpful
with our Aldi diagnostic tool but it didn't work so roll on Monday.
Meanwhile there are worse places to be stuck in!

| EDENGARTEN CAMPING MATREI IN OSTTIROL |
Next day we decided to drive to Lienz again and try to buy the additive, with help from Brother and Sister in law in France we found shop it was open and sold the additive, we did what we were supposed to do and crossed our fingers came back to site and went off to gondola to take us higher to do a walk, it was closed with sign we thought said closed Sat/Sun. We took off up the hills out of Matrei following a map, we got lost, we had lunch at a beautiful shaded bench with views, we got lost again, we went up some more and finally found where we were. Chatted with some folk from Nottingham who said cable car not closed, only restaurant! A good walk anyway.
LOVE THESE SHRINES WHICH ARE ALL OVER THE MOUNTAINS
