Getting stuck on the motorway in Austria for almost 4 hours

Lendorf Travel Blog › entry 33 of 35 › view trip summary

I always wanted to visit the Balkans by car and this summer we did it; Amongst others Shkodar in Albania, Mostar in Bosnia, Split and Dubrovnik in Croatia, Slovenia and the whole coast of Montenegro. My girlfriend Kaija and I started the car without any serious goals other than have a good time and see as much as possible - and so we did.
Getting stuck on the motorway in Austria for almost 4 hours
We still had no hurry getting back home besides just wanting to move in the right direction but this time it was getting ridiculous.
We had just left he motorway in Slovenia after passing Ljubljana and the magnificent area around Bled. On the Austrian side the motorway continued being good and we were making good progress after our little motorway block in Lecice.

6 km in front of the little village of Lendorf where a tunnel starts everything was blocked and really blocked. Again it turned out to at the entrance of an tunnel and at something that never should have been blocking. We just had to go from two lanes to one just before the entrance.

This time is was a lot harder for the mind and soul because the slow queue, well it was hardly moving took us around 4 hours to get by. All around us there were families in car with a lot kids that needed to go to the bathroom, well adults as well. People were amazingly calm except of one once in a while that took the emergency lane and passed everyone until they met someone like me that blocked them.

This was the longest time I had been stuck in a queue like this ever
Cars as far as you can see
Time for lunch
