Our last day in Slovenia was spent up in the north visiting the the lovely Triglav National Park where we explored Tolmin Gorge (much less crowded than Vintgar Gorge) and Grad Tolmin an ancient Castle atop a hill out of town described by the tourist office as a short walk from the car park. In reality Grad Tolmin is over four hundred metres pretty much straight up, could be there was a language issue in the description, it is a short walk but not and easy one. Anyway both were well worth the visit.
Panorama from 430 metres up.
By the way the Lancia review I promised:
The Lancia, not sure of model because the badge fell off sometime back, did a reasonable job going up and down hills and was only passed once by a push bike. Liberal use of the gear stick ensures slow but continual forward motion and it is possible to achieve something like the recommended road speeds. I feel the addition of a large plastic wind up key to the hatchback would make this an ideal car for Bobo and his friends to perform their highly amusing contrivances while circumnavigating one or even two of the three rings at any half decent circus.
After our last day in the land with language of the superfluous “j” we “motored” back to Venice to catch the “Venice Secrets – Crime and Justice Exhibition” before flying to Prague.
Gourmet Eh!
