It's happening, It's happening!
Good morning! We stayed in Kobarid last night. It was a pretty restful night. We both needed that;
we were pretty tired. We had mentioned that this was a bit of a loop drive that we were doing
and we have not completed our loop. We are not back to the Bled area, and as we've hinted at, we're
sort of saving the best for last. Stay tuned for what we have coming up in just a little bit!
This town's very Italian in its feel. A lot of people here look very Italian, the food
is a little bit more Italian style than Austrian style (compared to where we're staying in Bled),
and the buildings also look a little bit Italian.
It's probably because we're only about 5 miles from the Italian border.
Some of the fiercest fighting in World War One, and deadliest fighting in WWI occurred
in this river valley right here. This is a monument to the Italian soldiers who were killed.
It's happening. It's happening!
We are on the final leg of our adventure! As you can see, we are moving but I actually am having
nothing to do with this. My hands are not on the steering wheel, the engine is not running. At least,
not our engine, and I'm not doing anything with the pedals. How could this be? Well whose engine is
running, then, if it's not ours? It could be that giant locomotive that's about three cars ahead
of us! We are on a car train. If you are lucky enough to come across one, it is a really funky
way to move. It is so much fun! You are like a foot or two from the car ahead of you, and you're both
jostling. It looks like you're going to hit each other, but you're just stationary. You're not moving, on
a train platform. It's incredible! This particular one saves us about an hour and a half of driving,
and we get to enjoy the countryside without any stress. It's not very expensive,
and this is the final leg of our loop drive from Bled. Yeah, we're about to go into a tunnel.
This is a really long tunnel!
Roll up your window *before* you go in it. (Stinky diesel exhaust!)
Well, that pretty much ends our circular tour from Bled. We were let off in the area of Bohinj, and
the cost for this was 16.60 for the two of us and it was absolutely worth it. You know,
things in Europe can be pretty expensive, and we're surprised by how reasonably priced this was!
It was an adventure! Speaking of adventures, we'll join you on our next one. [We're pretty wet.]
I think it goes without saying - not the smartest thing that we've done.
