• Around Jezersko

    April 30, 2025 in Slovenia ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    No travelling today, so a more relaxing day than usual...

    An early 5k run around the Jezersko valley for one of us, followed by breakfast (oats and yoghurt for Sara, porridge for Andy) - both with fruit. Then a short cycle ride down to the nearest village, Zgornje Jezersko, to buy provisions and grab a coffee.

    While there we learnt that the next two days are a bank holiday in Slovenia and that nearly everything will be shut so we went back to the shop a second time to buy an extra evening meal's worth of food.

    Cheese salad rolls and crisps for lunch, which is now our 'go to' lunchtime meal - I have no idea why but they taste much better here than at home!

    Then a 10k walk this afternoon up to where the cable cars run from (when they are running). An amazing walk right under the mountains and glacier at the head of the valley.

    It's been another hot day - and there are a few more coming we think. We're certainly not complaining!

    We're hearing lots of birdsong here including cuckoos and owls (not at the same time!). We're also hearing goats and cockerels at 6 in the morning which is not quite so good!

    We ended the day with a meal at the campsite resturant. Cottage cheese with pumpkin oil, beef soup with noodles, paprika chicken with potatoes and sauerkraut, and a chocolate and walnut cake to finish. It was really good.

    All outside in the last of the day's sunshine with a beer. Hard to beat really. 😃
