The whole crew is happy to just be here….just BE….and everyone picks their own time to leave this place and get into the twisties of the southern ramp… at their own pace.

There’s a profound change in the mood and dynamics now…T2 has finally REALLY started!

Dave shows the perfect hairpin line

…high in, nudge the apex, STAY TIGHT on the way out.

In those situations, the GS12 is a handful, compared to the smaller Gs's.

**********************************************
Road-tales:

Goodie’s off the bike like the seat’s on fire, bolts into the shrubbery: ” I gotta go, I gotta go”….the green wall closes behind her.

A few minutes later she re-appears with a howl….legs crossed, eyes crossed, clutching the nether regions, twitching, hopping….
“OHH JEEZAZ!!!”
Concerned faces everywhere!! WOT? WOOOT??

UP THE MANGART…..another magical place !! The pics tell a better story than I ever could.

Back towards Bovec, there’s the old castle ruin. Bit of an eerie place…with a well inside a short tunnel in the mountain.

The afternoon is getting long again, time to get into Bovec just down the road and start looking for some accommodation….and the rest of it.

Off the main road and into town….there’s something inviting about that place.
First stop here…get out of the sweaty jackets, kick the boots off for a coldie, eh?
kicking.gif


Asking the lady behind the bar about some possibly stay, she points down the road we came and somehow get’s out one word of English: “pink!”
….orrite then, the reddish 3-storey place there on the left?
Yup, that’s it!

I take one for the team and trudge off, checking out the place.
A headful of black locks peeks around the doorframe…” sure, no problems, there are 2 “apartments” on the 2.floor: “2 nights?”

Yep, 2 or 3…..we go up and have a look.

One small, one big. Neat as a pin!
Holiday flats with kitchenette and some room to spread out. The bigger one has 7 beds in the loft, easily reached via a neck-breakingly steep contraption of staircase come ladder.

Wonder how things'll turn out when coming back after a night on the town....pile of 4 carcasses at the foot of this thing in the morning??

Can already see the headlines: 4 Aussie Bikers killed in Slovenia....while trying to get into bed.

A$108 per night…for the whole lot….incl. enough powerpoints to keep the 3 dozen chargers humming!! Bike-parking around the back.

DONE!!

I grab the keys and tootle back to the waiting, and by now happily intoxicated mob... thumbs up, problem fixed.

A good start, the local brew!

T2_0303.jpg


…and from here, things get serious.
But someone has to do it!
Wild boar skewers, stag goulash and steaks, baked trout with white wine sauce and baked with roasted almonds….it’s not a feast, it’s a RIOT!!

Moike: “ but she’s got more ice-cream than I!!”

An hour later, 6 belly-bursting Tornantis roll down the main-drag of Bovec.

Maaaan, what a battle THAT was!
