There’s a small restaurant where we meet the main road…the mood calls for a stop (as does the bladder… no stinging nettles around here, sorry Goodie

).

Why ever built a straight piece of road , eh?

Ohhh Yeah!! Perhaps they should re-issue this one, hmmmm.
250 shaftie?....Good idea!

The going is quick on the main road to Tolmin, then just the short hop north to Bovec.
All’s fine, until those 2 Trumpy punters show up. Looks like they’re on a mission….to hell.

Their antics, overtaking and general “ways of dealing with traffic” in and out of towns are truly…eye-popping!

I’m not squeamish when it comes to overtaking…or “nudging” a blind/deaf car driver to yield and make space…but Christ, those 2 take things to new heights.
I think it was Tim who blew the stack and went after them when they carved us up badly in Tolmin…
Only a blurry shot here…things were rather quick.

Back in Bovec…Happy Hour starts before we get home.

The ice-cold local “juice” hits the spot….and Marty’s finally coming around

Another one?....False modesty doesn’t work here, mate

Marty get’s the little netbook and the 2 lappy-drives whirring…photo backup time.
Back to the same place for dinner? Of course, Stupid!

It’s been a cracker of a day… what’ll tomorrow bring?

9.30….and the lights are out.

And YES!!...it’s possible to snore AND grin at the same time.

Hi Pete,

still amazing pics! :glu:glu:glu

I agree, that Bled is a beautiful town and place - we've been there on our great alp-loop in 2000 (we took the Vrsis before and the Loibl later) - but normaly very busy.

Thanks for the RR so far and the pics! :clap::clap::clap:

Best greatings

Stunning, really...
Got interested where is that lake Bled - and here are couple aerial photos that nicely complement yours: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bled_lake

Here the map, mate...
....and there are some STUNNING shots in your link. The one of the half-frozen lake is just WHOWWW!!

Zoom out of the map a little and it shows you that Bled is not far from the Austrian border in the north....and the Italian border to the west.


...and that's where we'll go tomorrow.
The Slovenian Border Ridge Road

Hi Rudi...
...that back-country to the west (and north-west) of Bled is the real stumper.

You're right, Bled's really busy through the summer....the reason both T1 and T2 were in Sept/ Oct.
It's even a hell of a lot prettier with the autumn colours.

And the pics...just spent 2 hrs. whittling the 181 of tomorrow's lot down to 76.
Including those, the first 5 days of the yarn average out ~100/ day.
If that keeps going, there'll be close to 2000 pics in the T2-report.

(and I'm howling after those, that had to go...one could easily knock up another story with just as many worthwhile pics in it :rolleyes::rolleyes:)

Just a quick THANKS here to those who've expressed their pleasure at reading this story.

In the posts, here or other forums where I posted links, or even emails and pm's.
It makes it worthwhile the effort when knowing that folks really enjoy the effort.

Writing it is just like riding and experiencing it all over again.
With a bunch a good mates.

I can't wait for the next day!!

Wow - more awesome photos :clap: :glu :chug:

This is distracting me from studying, glad I'm reading it now not just before exams (1st, 7th and 19th Nov)
 

asphalt

Tassie...where tyres are flat and nights are long
We just follow our noses eastward, turning here and there, just keeping the general direction.

Super!
simply surprise let.

The area all around the lake bohinj looks like into a phantasiepark ...
only: it was reality
