New scenery!
Today I went around our backyard. Well, our extended backyard!
I drove to Kromberg, Trnovo (via Ravnica, saving 45 minutes to the drive to
Nova Gorica), Rijavci, Mount Kucelj, Mount Gora, Predmeja, Lokavec, and then
Ajdovscina back to Gojace.
All these unpronounceable to say that this is one of the most picturesque
drives in Slovenia. And there are many!
The scenery is extraordinary, there is nobody on the road, and when it's 25
in the valley, it's 15 on the mountain tops. Wow!
First, it's a drive through an enchanted forest of very white rocks lying
under the canopy created by tall pine trees. Very small roads (pictures one
and two)
Then I drove to a house in Selovec (the only house in Selovec) and took a
walk to Kucelj, the mountain in our backyard (very extended backyard). In
the third photo, Gojace in the middle of the picture...
The drive back to the valley is AWESOME! In the fourth picture, in the
extreme lower left corner, you can see the road on which you exit the
mountain area within a few kilometers. WOW!
