Slow drive to Slovenia

Monday 31st May. We are now in Kobarid, Slovenia, where the competition will start on Sunday 6th May. We woke up to a thunderstorm this morning, but now it's quite sunny. It might be flyable tomorrow, but then it might be rainy for a few days.

We drove from Austria yesterday and we were trying to avoid the motorway as we didn't pay for a vignette, but after we spent ten minutes in first gear to get up a 15% mountain only to spend the same amount of time in first gear getting down the other side we decided to risk the motorway after that! Poor iVan (the camper van's nickname) doesn't really like mountains :-( We took possibly the long way round after that but I couldn't face another drive up and over a mountain visiting ski resorts.
