Simply Cycling Slovenia

A little breakfast to start the day.


Picked up this morning by Paul from Simply Cycling Slovenia. Uneventful border crossing. A couple hours drive and we are at our destination, Banovci.


Arriving at our hotel we were treated to a couple shots of honey liqueur. Then we headed out on the bikes. 300 metres down the road lands us at Mama Mia, our first beer stop.


Actually we we were waiting to meet Paul, he was brining us our GPS. The plan was for a short cycle to try out the bikes. We headed to an old flour mill that Paul is restoring. Built in 1901.


A quick tour and back on the road.

Our route took us to a little country restaurant for dinner. Had the schnitzel, very good. The not so secret ingredient - butter! We mentioned that Paul sent us, and then appeared cherry and pear liqueurs.
Back on the road heading home. We added value few extra kilometres to our cycle. The GPS wanted to take us back to the restaurant. Not my first time being lost in a foreign country, so I know to trust my instinct. Made it back to the hotel before it got dark, so a success. We then went to the thermal pools next door and had a nice soak. This should be a great week.

  2. I love a country that serves cucumber for breakfast, not sure why, but I do.

    Have fun, stay safe on the roads!
