July 18 - Misurina to Kranjska Gora

Leaving Misurina which was such a beautiful setting it is hard to leave!  But today will be the last day riding through the mountains and what a day it was!  Hairpin turns galore!  And to top it off we had cobblestones in the turns going up - you know just to make it a bit more difficult.

On the way down the mountain there is 49 hairpin turns which do not include all the other corners on the way down.  To say it was a fun but difficult ride is an understatement.  I loved it!  But when you are competing for road space with bicycles and cars and small vans and sometimes meeting them head on in a corner as you can’t see before you go around the hairpin curve can be frightening.  I wish I could see the dash cams of some of these vans I met (6 in total) face to face.  Thankfully the motorcycle is quite limber and you can easily move it out of the way with just a quick turn - but you have to watch that you don’t go over the edge.  Lots of fun - right!

Arriving to Kranjska Gora which I have been before as well as being on the mountain roads was again amazing.  We had a buffet supper and then headed out to have a beer and take a picture in the ski town.  

Early morning again as we are moving to Portoroz Slovenia.
