Kobarid

No riding today. We’ll be taking it easy, chilling on the camp site, rearranging our luggage into an overnight bag for the train and doing some maintenance chores on the bikes. So this will be a rather boring read, sorry.

And we sit out some rain showers.

Quite a few of them actually.

We also get to know Markus. The owner of the little thumper that arrived last night. He’s from Berlin and is riding a 20-year old Yamaha SR500 back home from Croatia. The bike looks in good nick, but he has been having some little issues with it. So I lend him some of my tools and we share some coffee and a good laugh over the tinkering.

The rest of the time we hang out at the bar, where I work on my Blofeld impressions.

While we were hanging out the bar had been keeping an eye on the lamb dish that has been sitting in the fire ever since lunch time. We don’t need to see today’s menu, we’ll have some of that! After hours of simmering in the fire the lamb chops are so tender the meat just melts in your mouth.

While we’re having dinner another thunderstorm passes over. And it won’t be the last one. The rain and accompanying sound and light show will continue all through the night. And after a very short night we also found out the floor of our little tent is no longer waterproof.
