Thanks fixed!!😊
2 months agotwisted in my Brian?
2 months agoYup, this is definitely the same road, but going the other way. The surface is much better now, and it's nice that you're not in a thunderstorm and torrential downpour.
2 months agoOh my gosh. THIS road! We biked on this road going the other way on rhe morning after we left Spodnja Idrija. Such a fantastic day, but nothing like your experience. I'll beat you biked right past Marco's house which isn't far from this place if. Remember correctly. I wonder if he still lives there, but I'll bet he does - it was a seventh generation farm when we were there, and I'll bet Marco has added another generation since then. https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/slovenia1998/spodnja-idrija-to-gorizia/
Those two days - the stay at Kendal Manor and our encounter with Marco and his family - might be our most memorable (in a good way) back to back days in all our travels.
That bike path looks new since we came through here back in 1998,,when we were planning to stay in Idria also until we found our hotel fully booked to a bike tour group we crossed paths with a few days earlier.
Instead, we stayed in Kendal Manor in Spodnja Istria, which I assume is the Michelin-rated place you mentioned. It's probably in the top two or three places we've ever stayed: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/slovenia1998/bohinj-to-spodnja-idrja/
A 5 jammer is good.

2 months agoAnd I like the overhangs! Simple and classy at the same time..Plus! Functional! :)
2 months agoI was amazed at the different textures and depth of flavor Chef Ana Roš could pack into a single bite. And visually stunning. Glad you enjoyed it.
2 months agoI spent five nights in Cividale last summer, taking day rides and a train trip to Trieste. It was a good base to cycling/hiking and I was blown away by the historic significance of the old town. Really enjoyed it. And I'm eagerly awaiting your review of Hisa Franko!

I think that’s Franco’s place in the trees behind the house in the forefront. I checked out your journal and the picture of Franco’s house is exactly as I saw yesterday. Not much has changed. Great experience and thanks for sharing. It days and encounters like you had that really make traveling memorable.
2 months agoAnd once again, we’ve been gazumped again by TA. I thought I had an original route and here you two did it 27 years ago!
