We decided to see a bit more of Slovenia on our last day, because we flew the same places everyday, so in reality we got to see very little of the country. In order to get to Lake Bohinj, we had to get up at the usual time of 7.30am to pack and get on the car train at Most na Soci. We said our goodbyes to Andy, who was flying home via Ljubljana, at 9.30am. It’s a winding 68km road to the lake up by the Julian Alps, and it is often closed due to snow, so you can drive your car onto a flatbed carriage and then sit there while you are bussed up through long tunnels through the mountains. It was a little odd to be in the car, chugging and bouncing along until we got to the lake. Chris, Ian and Tony had joined us and when we got there, we had a lovely lake side lunch and a paddle and then it was time to set off back down the road towards the airport.

Slovenia is packed with trees, so there were no views and I was so exhausted that I nodded off and didn’t see any of the countryside on the 68km drive. So much for me seeing a bit more of the country. Very pathetic!

The airport was full of tired pilots and we all said goodbye in Birmingham, where Geoff was waiting to pick us up.

Absolutely brilliant holiday. I enjoyed nearly every minute. A fuller write up of the comp later…
