9pm Wednesday the 16th – Lake Bohinj in the formidable Slovenian Alps made an excellent prize at the end of today’s 171km ride, which included an impressive climb to the border from Austria and a gem of a hidden climb and winding, narrow, forest descent to Bled. We forwent lunch in a dark, lost spot that only offered “drinks” and “kuklash”… Anyone know what that is? Yeah we didn’t, so instead we filled up on novel (to us), wild meat dishes down the road. Lake Bohinj is lovely, a glacial lake surrounded on 3 sides by towering peaks. Tomorrow we climb those mountains, drop into the next valley, and work our way to Trieste on the Italian coast.
Is “kuklash” another word for “goulash”? (which is a meat stew with onions & sometimes vegetables). “National Geographic” magazine would love your photos!! Enjoy the trip! Every day seems more exciting!!
