The train station for Most na Soci is a bit out of town. Our place is the bus stop for the village of Most Na Soci and we
have observed the buses as they stop right in front. We studied the schedule based on
what we saw and decided to try our hand at riding the bus to the train
station since the road between the town and the train station was not at all pedestrian friendly.
Managed it just fine and then checked out the train station
and checked with the station master to make sure we were scheduling
ourselves for the right train for our onward journey into Italy.
There
is a train museum in part of the station with pictures and explanations
of what it took to build this railway. Pretty amazing. Had old
pictures and drawings of the planning of the how the bridges, viaducts
and tunnels were going to be placed.
Went and checked out the
bar 17 at the train station. This is another one of Dusan’s
enterprises. While we were enjoying a cup of coffee, the train that
carries cars pulled into the station.
You drive your car onto a
flatbed train car and actually ride in your car as the train moves from
place to place!
Walked along the Indrija river on a gravel
road that led back to town. Very few cars and it was nice and shady and
very peaceful. Back to room to make lunch and plan our afternoon.
Decided
to take the bus to Tolmin which is the closest town where bicycles can
be rented. While we have been here have seen many groups of people
touring by bike through the country. Walked around a bit and checked
things out and Robert found himself a new hat to replace the one he had
lost.
Back by bus and had a drink at the bar and visited with
Maida, Dusan’s wife and then and went and fixed dinner. Had finished
dinner when there was a knock at the door. Dusan had ordered pizza and
invited us to come and join them. Explained we had just finished dinner
but went over and visited with the people that had joined them for
pizza. Of course had to answer questions about life in the United
States but it was an enjoyable evening. As we were saying good evening,
Dusan told us he wanted us to come to lunch at his house day after
tomorrow and so we agreed.
