Having seen the sunset last night we see the sunrise this morning. As I'm waiting for the sun to appear over the distant mountain range I chat to the Slovenian chap who shared our room last night. He's walking the trans-slovenian route from Maribor to the Adriatic. We have breakfast at 7 - just bread and honey and some sludgy Turkish coffee and are on the trail at 09:00. The route is slippery as it's north facing and damp, so it takes us a long time to get down the steep section. We get back into the tree line and after a while come across another hut where we stop for coffee. We see a deer in the nearby woods. Down we trek through birch forests and get a bit lost by a run down ski resort, and it takes us a while to get back onto the right route. Eventually we arrive wearily at Bohinjska Bistreca where we have a celebratory Union draft beer and some typically Slovenian food - mashed beans, sausage, sauerkraut and mustard! We then find the bus stop for the return to Ribcez Laz and a very welcome shower in the Hotel Gasperin from where we left in such heavy rain a week ago.
