Day 4 - The Girls - by Erica Breakfasted leisurely and took a stroll to Slap Beri - uphill all the way! Well worth it though and we bathed 'Timotei' style in the waterfall once we got there. On the way back we stopped at a spring in the mountain side where they provide glasses for you to try the water with. We decided to do this as male Germans and emptied the last dregs from our glasses onto our heads. Next we headed into Tolmin and had a drink at the café and visited the supermarket. We then hired bikes from the shop. The guy spoke English very well - though he didn't seem to grasp the terms 'easy' and 'flat'! So we headed off out of Tolmin - up - up - up! As we set off we started to realise that the hill was getting steeper, so much so that we thought we'd gone the wrong way and cycled back down the hill and onto another path which ran to the Tolminska Gorge. Erica spoke to the lady at the gorge and we realised we had to go up this steep track. It took a super human effort but we pushed our bikes up the steep hill. Harder than any Mt Triglav. We only had about 7km to go to Jevoica church so off we set up the windy mountain pass with no safety barrier to the sheer drop below! It was hard but we made it up although only Erica made it to the very top. The ride down however was fantastic. It took 20 minutes when it took 2 hours up! We got back to Tolmin at 5:30pm in time to give the bikes back. After a little bit of shopping we walked back to our village ready for a hot shower. We then waited for the boys to come back, and waited, and waited….. |
