We had much better weather today, dry but cool and cloudy, so we covered a good distance over a variety of different types of road and track. We started off back on the east bank of the river Savija where the first five miles or so were pretty tough on really steep farm roads and tracks which went up and down above the river. The views were good but I was a bit nervous of fifty miles of that sort of terrain.
Fortunately once we reached the river Sava and turned westwards the roads improved, initially along a deserted minor road squashed between the railway and the river. We came across a really interesting cable bridge which could only take one person at a time while the other wound it across manually, fortunately we didn't need to use it.
A bit further up the valley we had to join a busier road for about ten miles as it passed through a fairly industrial section near Hrastnik.
But we were soon back in minor roads before stopping for lunch at Litija, after which it was quiet farm roads virtually all the way to our camp site on the outskirts of Ljubljana.
After getting ourselves booked in we jumped on the bus into the centre of town which was spectacularly beautiful with a real buzz in the restaurants along the banks of the river.
