Day 6 Venice to Hungary


Thursday we travelled from Venice via Slovenia to Sopron in Hungary.  366 miles today about 7 hours driving. We travelled through the Triglav National Park taking in the Virsic Pass. This is the highest mountain pass in Slovenia, with a series of 48 hairpin bends. Alfie made it up here with no problems, got slightly hot but he did have alot of climbing to do.The views were amazing, massive cliffs and waterfalls. It was also full of Harley Davidson  motorbikes.  Never seen so many! We must have seen at least a 1000.  Bit scary going up as the Harley's came down the hairpins on the wrong side of the road.  Nearly run over a couple of mountain goats who  were wondering aimlessly around in the middle of the road. We had a lovely lunch at the top, beautiful views only slightly ruined by the constant noise of the Harley's driving by.  All the Motoscaper's had a buffet dinner at the hotel and obviously a few beers. We ordered a bottle of wine, never seen a bottle so big! Another early start tomorrow as off to Czech Rebublic.
