Slovenia: Day 6

This morning we had a bit of a lie in, but not much since we needed to get packed up and moved out, breakfasted and downstairs ready for adventure by 09:30! That is when we started our canyoning adventure which would see us through 12:45. Here is the website for the place we stayed/ played with: http://www.top.si/en/canyoning/

We didn't take any photos ourselves during this fabulous adventure, but other people have shared their photos and videos on the www...

Basically, we got a ride from the center to the river car park area. We stripped down to our swimsuits and booties, tied our helmets, harnesses and wetsuits around our waists and then hiked up the canyon for about 30 minutes. There was a bit of gravelly scrambling down a drainage to get to the starting point where we had a pee break, drink some water, and put on our gear. From there we got some instruction from our guide (there were 6 other people in addition to our family of 4) on how to slide and how to jump. Then we were off! Tryfan was grinning ear to ear and trembling with giddy joy the entire time. Rhiannon was super excited and fearless for the most part (there was one big optional cliff that she didn't want to jump off and I was glad to skip it with her!). Rhodri enjoyed it and so did I, but I was also kind of glad when it was over...

So at the end we just changed into our dry clothes and drove back to the center, then said goodbye to the team there and drove off to find a place for lunch. We found a little cafe place and sat outside. It was really hot and we were all quite tired, but the food was good. Then we headed off to Koper, which was a 2+ hour drive away.

It was a beautiful drive along the western border of Slovenia, very close to the Italian border. Eventually we reached the town of Koper and the lovely accommodation provided by Sandro and Dunja (Airbnb). We settled in and then did some grocery shopping, which is always fun! Then we walked down to the beach and went for a swim.

And then we went back to the house to shower, make dinner, and relax for the evening. Another epic day in Slovenia!
