Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia
Had breakfast and then decided to try and find a hike that went
along the Soci river. Walked along the steep road heading up toward Lom and
Drobocnik. It was a steady uphill climb but quite beautiful. We
stopped for a modern exhibit detailing where they had found some Ice Age graves that were found in urns
when they were settling this area. Very interesting. The rock geology along
the hillside was also very interesting and lots of varied colors.
There
were some interesting houses along the hillside as well, and some looked
like they had been there for quite some time. Never did make it up high enough to find the Soci
river, and decided it was time to head back because we needed to clean up
and be ready to go to lunch with Dusan and Maida. Dusan picked us up
and we headed back up the road we had just walked up but he turned off
down a side road to his property. From what we could understand, this
land had been his parents and he was restoring one of the buildings and
building another.
His house was nice and we had a very nice
meal of pork roast and gravy, mashed potatoes, salad, zucchini all from
the garden. And of course, had to try a friend of his wine and then
dessert and coffee! Met their other son, Darje who spoke fairly good
English and so we had an interesting conversation during the meal.
Came
back to the room and decided to kayak one last time on the Indjri
river. This time we kayaked all the way to where we could see the train
trestle that our train will be passing over. It is a beautiful trestle
and the setting is very picturesque. The river picks up speed here and
so could not make it all the way under the trestle.
