Had a really sweet conversation with my hosts about family and living in this town, Zabljak.
It's a day off, but the southern route, the one that goes through the park, is calling for me to ride it, since I missed it yesterday. I pass by the ski area. There is some good vertical on these 5 lifts and a day ticket is only 14 dollars..
I made it to the top of Sedno pass and decided to take a break in the cafe, where I meet a French couple who drive a Toyota diesel 4x4 with a small camping box on the back. We end up in deep conversations about travel to very remote places. They mention Albania, Georgia and the Caucasus mountains and Dagestan. They are probably in their 'early 70s and they are true adventurers with incredible stories. It's super inspirational for me.
I sat for an hour overlooking the valley and watching the cloud shadows move along the terrain. It's absolutely breathtaking.
Back in town I see yet another couple of touring cyclist groups in front of the Voli supermarket. This time of day that's where they gather. Multiple languages are flowing back and forth. Lots of energy.
