Bohinjska Bistrica to Nova Gorica, mainly by train but 11 miles cycled (total miles 451)

As forecast the weather was terrible again this morning and as it was forecast for more of the same tomorrow we abandoned our plan for the big climb over the pass and instead cycled the 5 miles to Bohinjsaka Bistrica where we got the train to Nova Gorica.  We weren't the only ones with the same idea as we met a couple of Dutch cycle tourists at the station, although I think this had been their plan A to avoid the climb.

The weather was a good bit better at Nova Gorica and we ended up in a great wee family run  campsite a few miles out of town . https://parklijak.com/ We are the only guests on the site tonight and also the only diners in the campsite restaurant, we weren't really expecting much as the slightly grumpy looking barman / chef took our orders however we have probably just had the best meal of the trip so far.  It's great the places you stumble across on your bike.

Tomorrow we head into Italy, yet another country where we can't speak the language!

  1. Bad luck with the weather recently. It's interesting to see you can find so many good places to camp/stay. So much better than here. Taking bikes on a train so easily too compared with the difficulties we have here. Seems to be the same pretty much everywhere in Europe too.
