Day 36: Postojna, Slovenia

Stats... 34,21km in 2hrs 50 mins resulting in a total to date of 2,086km! We joined Petra and Fran for breakfast and listened to Petra play the piano beautifully for us. We had got just 2mins up the road and hit the most stonking hill so far. Al VO2 maxed and ended up pushing for the first time while Kris made it to the top but for the first time he did not make it look easy! It began to rain hard as we took some quiet hilly roads to Predjamski Castle. Kris was very excited as this castle growing out of a cave in a cliff is where Jackie Chan did a scene in Armour of God. We then cycled on to Postojna Village and found a small dated apartment where we could escape the rain. We walked back to the Postojna Caves which were very beautiful and massive in size compared to those in Belgium. The cave tour involved 4km of train ride and 1km of walking. We were treated as there was a special booking down in the caves where the judges of Slovenia were having a meeting and had a saxophone player accompanying them which sounded amazing with the accoustics of the cave.
