Day 18 - Still in Alpine heaven.


The predicted storms didn’t come and its been perfect weather everyday so far. We have encountered fellow Brits for the first time on the trip. They pulled onto the pitch opposite us in a ‘beauty’ of a motorhome as we were having our evening meal. The satellite dish went up and automatically started scanning the sky, Olivia asked about it and was told by Stu that it was searching for a TV signal so they can watch TV in their motorhome. Olivia’s comedy pause was used again before saying ‘ well Dad, you should have brought a motorhome’.

 

More bad news for Stu, Olivia has befriended a boy – he is even referred to as her ‘boyfriend’. Really bad news is he is tanned, good looking and Italian – Stu is seriously considering burning the passports.

 

Admittedly we have fed the children some strange (to them) food in different colours and sizes to what we get at home, but that does still not excuse Eloise chasing up the path after a man carrying a 2-man yellow kayak shouting ‘ banana, banana’.

 

This place still has a Cummins family rating of excellent and its not even the ‘jewel of the Slovenian lakes’ that’s up the road at Lake Bohinj.

PS You will see Stu's not that far into his homework!

 

FOD:

After gaining independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 Slovenia joined the EU in 2004 and was the first ex-communist state to join the Euro currency in 2007.

  1. Hi We have to admit it does look a stunning place to visit, can't wait to hear all about this place when you get back. You know the girls will expect this sort of holiday all the time now and we mean all the girls. Glad to see Stuart hasn't forgotten how to open a book. Well we are off the Cornwall tomorrow weather forecast is not good but it will be nice just to get away for a couple of days in preparation for our main holiday, can't wait. We both need a rest especialy dad, shame its only for a fortnight and not seven weeks, of course we are not jealous , I don't think. Lots of love mum and dad xxxx
