The skies looked temptingly enticing but sadly, the truth revealed strong winds. no Task again today.
Surely, there can be nothing more frustrating for an organisation, than to have the weather screw up a years' planning!
Catching up on a backlog of
emails this morning, I headed for the Adriatic Coast for a swim in the sea in
the afternoon. A visit to Portaroza on the 26mile Slovenian coastline
gave me an insight into how beautiful the rest of this little corner of paradise was.
The water was a cool
21° teamed with blissful warm sunshine. A couple of hours spent lazily soaking
up the rays on a thick cream mattress on the beach accompanied by a huge tripled-flavoured ice cream (all good for the ballast!), before heading back to base via Lipiça, the Slovenia town well known worldwide amongst equestrians, for its breading of Lipizzana (white) horses.
Beautiful stables and equestrianism to die for. For many years I have wanted to
visit this place and see these stunning animals for myself. Whether you
are a horse lover or not, the establishment is well worth a visit, and if you
don’t like four-legged friends, there is a swish looking golf course and an excellent restaurant/bar within
the beautiful white post and railed grounds.
Sadly I was not back in
Kobarid in time for the organised supper party this evening but I’ve had a
great day discovering new places.
Pleeeeease, oh please let there
be a task day tomorrow…
