Tolmezzo Italy to Kranjska Gora Slovenia
Miracle let it be said up showered brekky and out the door by 830 am . No doubt two boys will be sleeping in the car this afternoon . We left Tolmezzo and headed for the back door entrance as garry would say of Slovenia . The towns that we have gone through have alot less wood on them ( Austria Switzerland homes) and now are concrete bagged white with r terra cotta tiled roofs . Garry has us on the ss13 and ss646 toads to Slovenia via tarcenta and zaga. we just completed another pass with two tarantos( u turns) and we have only seen 1 bike rider. Oh by the way we have the radio on 'metro' station easy 80's music . eurythmics Howard jones spandau ballet Early 80s Madonna ! - oh my goodness my teen years are coming back !!!Tristan is in the front seat I'm back seat navigator and kieran is with pa and Sonia's car. The mountains have changed from rock tips to being fully treed . As we wound along the road we came across the sign "Slovenia" and the check point was unmanned . Crossed the river and we are in another Country again . Just on 1.5 hrs from Tolmezzo Italy ! We noticed the colorful buildings in the towns and many houses . We stopped at the memorial outside the town kobarid where 1 million ww1 soldiers died . We had to get a vignette fit the car here for the mototways in Slovenia . We headed to the visjnic pass and into the national park which is part of the julian alps. The river winds through the park beside the road. The stones are white and the water is a greenish blue colour . There are 48 hairpin turns to do as the first sign we encounter said 48.at mark24 you could stop on the hill ! We went through and down the other end to the town of Kranjska Gora for lunch in a place the lonely planet guide of Slovenia said was good called costilna pro martinu . It's 1.30 pm !
