Another day another lake.

Monday 23rd April. Today’s challenge was a walk up to the Vintgar Gorge. We were told that the gorge was closed but we were able to walk down into the gorge and watch a helicopter using a winch to bring materials to a construction site where they were rebuilding a bridge that linked over the river. We enjoyed a coffee and watched the activity. On arrival back at the Bled Camp Site we went of to Radovljica the sweetest town in Slovenia – more superlatives. It is apparently the centre of chocolate making and honey production in the country. After a few testing routes around the town no problems for a extra blue Mercedes Sprinter we parked a found a charming small town centre no evidence of chocolatiers some shops selling a variety of honey and the evidence that we had just missed the Chocolate Festival finished yesterday dream on E.R. From Bled we went on to Lake Bohinj apparently the less well known contender to Lake Bled’s notoriety.

Here there were citrus and olive groves and fig trees with other horticultural products as well. We bought from a roadside stall tangerines, lemon and figs. They also had a lot of honey for sale, peppers, olive oil and a blue liquor. (not sure what it was made from) We eventually reached the little ferry terminal at Papratna on the Peljasic peninsula. We took the ferry to Sobra on the Island of Mijet. It had now started to rain with thunder and lightning. Our camp site guide only indicated one site on Mijet at Marina Ropa. Having found the place by using co-ordinates it was deserted and no evidence of a marina. A young girl was cleaning the ablution block – unisex and said her Mum was coming. She told us it was no problem to camp, you have electric and hot water all for 120 Kuna (£15)...
