Portarose, Slovenia

(via the mountains of Slovenia and a little bit of Italy especially for Mick Forte)

Well today didn't start off at all well.  Our brand new tyre had lost air pressure overnight and our baby kept flashing warning lights at us.  Not happy Jan!


After a quick stop at the local servo it didn't take long to start to see some more of Austria's beautiful scenery through the clouds.

Just when we thought the roads and scenery couldn't get much more spectacular we crossed the border into Slovenia.  Wow! The road Zumo took us on was just the best.  Luckily we had topped the tyre up AGAIN.  Maurice got a work out around the bends and GoPro and the camera were working over time.  It may not have been as green and lush as Austria but it was definitely majestic.  As usual the pictures just don't do it justice.

Rugged mountains of Slovenia.

Our coffee stop in the mountains

Mountain pass strong hold,

We took a bit of a detour so we could call in to this little place in Italy.  We think the Forte family may recognise it.

Of course we stopped and had lunch & a beer.

After our little diversion we crossed back into Slovenia and headed to our next stop of Portarose.  Finally the weather was hot enough to actually go for a swim.  We didn't think much of the rocky beaches but the water was crystal clear and perfect for a cool off.

First day at the beach!

Second day at the beach!
