Tuesday 20th June Gonja košama -ocizla

Fairly restful sleep in the corridor of our hostel, seriously!!!!!
We were lucky enough to have a couch in the corridor, but it wasn't really as bad as it sounds.

Up early and a quick brekky with the other 23...
Out of the hostel and straight up, through some really pretty villages and into some really beautiful forest.

We all have a little bit of a spring in our step today as we have decided to give ourselves a little treat.
There are two choices today about the route we can take ( I really love choice!)
After about 16k we arrive at a bridge over the river Reka. Bit odd tho coz the Slovenian word for river is reka so it is actually river river......

Anyhow, I digress. 
The choice is to walk down by the side of the river, do some ridiculously steep assents followed of course by ridiculously steep descents OR walk the same distance, bit less on a bitumen road😳. 
No brainer, we walked the river. 



Huge morning but we arrived at the šcojanske caves around midday. We will do a tour of the caves that will take a couple of hours and then the lovely Jana from the hostel will come and collect us.

The caves... I don't where to begin. Truly mind blowing the sheer enormity of them. There were bridges going over huge caverns that were really terrifying. We were not allowed to take photos inside but I will include a picture out of the book I bought, for completion in the blog.

I have never , ever seen anything like it.

Taken back to the hostel and will share a dorm with 4 others which is nice. 

Dinner at a bar down the road and a walk home at sunset completed the day.
