Next morning was clear and I asked where the best place was to spot Mount Triglav and we were directed to the pretty bridge in the centre of Stara Fužina where I got a perfect shot! We thought this was a great place to end as we drove off towards the airport.
It’s always strange knowing how to spend the day with an evening flight, but we used the time by taking a mountain detour through Pokljuka with some lovely views but no safe stopping places. We also saw men wearing what looked like skis on rollers making their way quite fast up the road carrying ski poles.
A little later we had pulled over the check the map and a van pulled up with Team Germany on the side, and then the man leading in a yellow jersey came to a stop to get water. We found out that this was Benedict Doll, a German biathlete and winner of a couple of Olympic medals. I had to Google the biathlon to understand this is a winter sport combining cross country skiing and rifle shooting in a race, and this was summer practice!
Anyway, that’s really the end, nothing more to report as we wait at the gate for our delayed EasyJet flight home, munching complimentary breadsticks!
As they say here … zelo dobro … which means very good … and everything has been, with friendly people, beautiful scenery and great food so we feel sure we will pay another visit.
Not quite sure when we will be off travelling together again as there is nothing planned … yet!
