Burgers, Fish, and Saddles

It’s a little hard to capture some of what happens on tours.
Part of the deal is food. It’s not always fine dining with white table cloths (although, at night, it usually is).
Everyone is on their own for lunch. Who would have thought you could find big ol’ burgers in Slovenia? Once we found them, it was tough to resist. Especially when they are man sized burgers that have you contemplating what life without burgers might actually be like. As it turned out, given the “bunnage” to meat ratio of these, life might actually be a lot better. It was kind of like eating a loaf of bread, with a side salad. It did take two hands though.

It isn’t all big burgers. We had some great fish and seafood including these trout on the ride into Tolmin. The restaurant is right above a pen where they have live trout. Slovenia is known for world class fly fishing for trout.

After a long day in the bike saddle, what might be better than to stop in the lounge at the hotel and relax with a cup of coffee or a tall cool one?
….it certainly is not, however, to spend more time in the saddle…..a horse saddle. But that is exactly what we did in Tolmin. Giddie up, cowboys (and cowgirl)!

Sept 6 Ljubljana

Sept 6
One of the great things about Ljubljana…..the doors. The entry ways to buildings are more than a little interesting. Usually they are big and often ornate. They seem to send a message to anyone who might venture through them that the place about to be entered is not be taken lightly. I had some time today and wondered the city looking for the best of the best; snapping photos along the way. Here is what I came up with.

Sept 5 Bled to LJU

Got up at 5am today to help the guy who runs this Agriturismo place milk some of the 100 cows. It was interesting. I don’t think he really needed my help though.
Today, we head back to Bled the long way….probably thru Kamnik, where there is a castle.
