We slept well in the youth hostel, there is also plenty for the children to play with.
Today we are going on a trip, first to the Postonje caves and then to a castle that is partly carved out of the rocks. We have a beautiful tour of an hour and a half through the caves. First with a train, then a walk of an hour and then back with a train. Then we drove to the castle, which is 9 km further on. All narrow corridors and steep stairs carved out of the rocks. Simon and Femke look at all the rooms with great interest with the help of a Dutch audio tour on my phone
Afterwards we eat an ice cream and decide to drive a bit further to the next place to sleep. We drive beautifully through the woods and even come across unpaved roads. In the end the T-Ford starts to sputter, it seems that there is something wrong with the fuel supply. That means tinkering. Trudy goes to investigate and finds a flat area 2 bends further on, if they can’t solve the problem right away, we can pitch the tent there to camp and continue tinkering.
The fuel pump is malfunctioning, we have a spare, but it is in the bottom of the Landrover, so we fill the tank, that gives enough pressure and can continue driving.
And look for a place to sleep and a place to tinker.
At one point I see a sign for glamping, Dirk and Trudy have already passed by but we honk loudly and they turn around. We decide to try it because there probably won’t be anything for a while. We still have to go up a bit and we arrive at a beautiful spot. All the guesthouses are full, but they are happy to help us. We are allowed to sleep in a house where an employee normally sleeps who is not there now. Super sweet! They come by in the evening with home-brewed Jägermeister. We toast with each other and chat a bit more. Today we drove 26 km
