Dvor/Krka source & Cave/Ljubljana

After Novo Mesto we headed to Dvor to see the waterfalls on the river and the old ironworks. This was a quick stop, but really pretty! And everything was so wet so we missed some heavy rain (though it did start sprinkling as we got back towards the car). The old ironworks was interesting too.

Then we headed on to the source of the Krka River (photos 7 and 10). There were two spots where you could just see the water flowing like a river out of the ground. It was really interesting!

I had also seen there was a cave there so we hiked up to the one…and it was so nice and cool in the rocks there!! As soon as we got back up to the trail it was like no! Back to the humidity! But the caves were not open today so we just spied in the gates and…well the first cave I think you need more technical gear as it was soft ground straight down so even if we could have gone in we definitely wouldn’t have as we don’t have the gear/skills for that.

Then we realized there was a second cave so we walked over to that one to spy (and spy on the second source of the River) and that cave is like normally 200m and then it is flooded and you can only go in with dive gear. And there were photos on the sign for the cave showing water pouring out the entrance so the whole thing can be flooded! It wasn’t today, but again not really a cave for us!

When we were heading back to the car we could hear all the thunder again, and we sat for a minute in the car and we could see lightning out the one side and all of a sudden it started pouring!! We waited until it calmed down and then headed out, but the roads we had just driven down to get to the car park had so much standing water on them! We did see a rainbow too, but it was so low to the ground. I don’t think I have ever seen one so low or was hidden in the houses. It was strange! Though we were heading into the storm again and we had to pull off the side of the road at one point and wait for the rain to slow down as you couldn’t really see it was raining so hard. And then all the water on the road too! It was crazy rain until suddenly the roads were dry and we were out of the storm.

We are camped in Ljubljana again and we headed into town for dinner - pizza again. I had really wanted to try this place as their menu said they use homemade vegan meats and cheeses so I wanted to try it out (most vegan cheeses you can buy are not very good for pizza. They don’t have much of a flavor). Well they were out of the meats so we got one with cherry tomatoes, pesto and cheese, and one with cheese, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and zucchini. They were both super tasty and the cheeses were great! Raymond was like they remind me of your cheeses and I was like I was just going to say that! They remind me of what I make which I love so that is always good. They had a great flavor and the pesto was also super good so it was another great meal here!

Walking back from dinner Raymond commented on how we have been surrounded by clouds all day, but not really where we were which was true. Today was a really great day and I was so glad we missed being out in all the storms in the area!Читать далее
