After Super Bowl Best Buy

Litija - Postojna



The next morning we continued towards Ljubljana, at first in the morning mist, then soon back under the sun. Commuter traffic, trucks, buses. Finally, a sign that prohibited the continue on the road for cyclists. It was headed to a small road - marked with bike route signs - led by the slender, elongating suburbs and into the edge of town, go to really nice, but unfortunately, with many - the traffic to slow down ongoing - thresholds at which was to slow down. Then I found myself in the street with all the confusion of Ljubljana, which can spoil your cycling: industrial and service waste land, lousy bike paths, bustle, dust, a colleague who had spent some time in the city, had warned me.

The bright morning, the city was reached at a walking pace I mingled among the tourists and rolled the streets and squares on both sides of the river up and down. Another cyclist I met radschiebend, but ignored me. Then no greeting (and not even in the second match). Break in a café, two photos, cappuccino, coke. Very nice everything, but I found no real reason to spend the rest of the day here. So I wanted to.

yet even a short back and forth, then something like a main road: again signs that prohibited cycling, instead, a sinewy bike path on a sidewalk that led from time to time in a parking strip, and two times you should really get away from the road by blocks intersect (up on the sidewalk again somehow place was?). A highway underpass: here I met the cyclist without greeting again, studying his map. Now, he said to me, to Postojna he would if he was on the right track? And I kept his card in front of his face. I pointed to my GPS and replied that this would argue that, because I would also towards Postojna. Aha, then I started ignore the growing cycle, some times we got ourselves yet another, and finally - now quite certain that everything was perfect - he moved away.

went a few miles now's unattractive parallel to the highway, in Vrhnika parted both streets, and behind the place a rising curve, so when needed for the largely flat stage today climbed again. To the now really trendy lunch break I gave, I had been the break in Ljubljana, but - I had to discover later - that was probably a mistake, because I rolled so swiftly into a fairly low point, which I finally, at the accessibility of my (too ambitious?) destinations could not doubt.

First we went to a byway, a PC at home, looking out abbreviation led steeply up a hill and then into gravel, which was not me uneasy, so then back down. Now, in the lowest speed range, the wide road up: not really steep, but long long shadows and ascending, rarely boring, tedious to me was very cumbersome: it was exactly the kind of pitch that I liked the least. An Italian couple who had overtaken me with cries attracted me to a short break, they were driven up the river Drava and wanted to return to Italy. I met her shortly before Postojna every now and again they drove while faster than I thought but to often.

Logatec back then started the nicer part of the stage, leading away from the main road, narrow trails, sometimes flatten, then descending, through villages and between fields. I met a cyclist troupe, which was traveling with support vehicles: Tour of Slovenia stood on it there, and finally reached the point where I had to choose: continue on my route, but since then as the day before risking hard or only late (or maybe not) to find accommodation - or better to secure Postojna . I chose the latter, there was still a to take a mountain, I could see the switchbacks on my GPS. Water should I fill, clear, and maybe put me somewhere in a cafe. The only coffee but was occupied by the Radfaherertruppe that last check again, okay, then to the mountain. And the water? Yet another village, junction, here to stay? Since there was probably nothing. Water? Not applicable. Someone ask? No one dared. I had a pint, so this will probably be rich, but not far off.

But beautiful it was then: I like hairpin bends so, because if there are views, (and there). So everything went well: in the afternoon I had arrived, went to the first hotel: a sports hotel expensive, but with 10% Ökorabatt for cyclists. Well then. The town itself has nothing, you go out there probably only because of the cave - but I had to not feel like I was there as a child, sometimes even that did not have to be repeated. Dinner at a large dining room, whose best times been a little might be her: columns in the middle, chest-high plants and screens between two tables, since you only saw hair and forehead, from the windows overlooking the parking lot. I sat at the side table, the table next to a goth couple, an Austrian accent, she fusses at the menu up and down, it is all a bit embarrassing.

Bleiburg - Litija



With the passing of the first of it after all seven border crossings (which was also the last EU and therefore control-free transition of my trip), introduced gradually in the weeks of planning before longed Gefühlsmix to leave, Ungebundensein, freedom, the I love to go on the bike should surrender. Everything was right too: the sun above me did me in anything bad, traffic was limited (and sometimes me my route leading from the main road away in a quiet side), last thoughts of some unfinished business that I had been startled, I could distribute a short call at the office (and after that it should actually lost contact in the give vile work daily lives), and I tweeted a first chance message to the interested world, my bike as a chariot praise (for the Rose was the Wörthersee distributed Nadoos roads, ranging from the mountains to the sea, had place in the Ohrwurmnistecke taken, and would fit in there now so much better).

here east of the Karawanken I had picked out a route without the Alps proper slopes, although there was to climb a bit - especially the two times I had avoided on secondary roads, but that was with a real passport, as it continues west to it would probably have been not to compare. Altitude, it should still enough (and more than enough to give) in the coming weeks.

My resolution said, in the morning earlier than on previous trips, start driving (which I had succeeded, shortly after night I had everything together, could pay the room and load up the wheel) and then rather long lunch breaks so as to insert the worst sun dodge - and also because I spent the first day: one day I was happy in a shadow area surrounded by rolling meadows, pine, and one or two houses that marked the edge of a village. I ate cookies, drank water, tweeted again, for which I was now more fun than taking photos.

then led me the way back to the high street - but here a slightly off-lying, shaded bike path, which I gladly accepted, was only on the few crossings to watch, and after another short hour I was in Celje , the first major settlement, and also the place I had chosen in my planning as a place to stay. Stay

For it was too early, so I placed myself under a parasol at the edge of closed to traffic main street in a cafe and ordered cappuccino and Cola, a combination that would taste great in the coming weeks. Since little was going on, some young girl Boys, a dudelndes Radio from the bar shooting I still did not want, first as two tourists appeared, their lenses focused intrusive in all directions, up and down and to the north and south, as well as I dug out my camera and took photos . I ordered a second Coke.

two hours, I was planning, perhaps today I could still ride. The tourists left their battlefield, I paid, drove off, but more immediately, but a store looking to buy water, which I found between the plate structures; someone wanted to remind myself well because I was not my bike finished when I read the small Supermarket entered, but, as happy as I was, I just laughed friendly and answered very well back out there. Put some cream in a shady corner, then it went on.

Now I was at the Savinja that soon resulted in the Save. Here was more traffic, because that was already the way to Ljubljana. In the next place I found hotels, but soon had my track off the main road onto a side road, which then led to yet one of the mountains that rose on both sides of the meandering river. Should I take? Okay, I thought there might be to stay somewhere quieter than on the main road. Perhaps what was already found in the small town where I branched off (and what does for "room" in Slovenian?). Was not, so it was time to climb. I spent about an hour, I was on top. A few minutes later below.

But one could certainly draw slowly coasts this second stage. Back on the river but I soon realized that was not so simple: the signs on the few places were usually high in the mountains (and promised not a hotel) or to mines around clustered settlements on the river - I wanted to risk anything Next came rather remained parallel to Save and train.

Finally, the canyon opened into a valley. A place on the road, looked only for garden city with no additional infrastructure, but a playground was to see him and mothers with their children. Who spoke English and explained to me exactly that I would have to continue for about seven miles, then I would Litija , to the place I was through and then a kilometer, then an underpass would be under the railway, and there I would find the pizzeria Kovac and since there was room. Grateful waving from the street, and I stuck to the description. All agreed. I found a room, showered, ordered a beer and a large meat-heavy pizza on a quiet terrace next to the railway line. The night I wrong in spite of the great one or the other then rumbling freight train.

What Teas Can Cause Preterm Labor

Buchbrunn




Sunday, then, as the afternoon slowly dissolved noon, arrived at the train in Klagenfurt. In Villach, most of the passengers got off, with the remaining I had from the windows looked over the lake and made me so attuned to this childhood memory stage, because of course I had to shallow 60's movies with Roy Black and Saturday night TV shows that have been seen regularly at his grandmother (with oval, pink and white chocolates filled with peppermint drops [were called and how there's still today?] and then they took me sleeping, Child without that I noticed it in her bed), think, and brain hummed "the Rose of Lake Wörthersee" around enervating. In the "Packerl car", another cyclist, loaded with MTB and heavy backpack. Finally developing a climb in the Alps.

I received my next three weeks most faithful companion merciless and relentless: a sweltering sun on a sky-(later I suppose adria) blue sky, under the wegduckte Klagenfurt is dull and sluggish. Some tourists, some locals who probably had absolutely dire somewhere, for otherwise would be surely in a cool darkened living room of a Couch remained or had been sitting in a warm kitchen together around a table. I shot a first round on the tricycle through the set in one-way tied Inner City, saw something like a central square with a church or town hall, or both, and tourists, who photographed [photographing tourists were then further relentless companion in the next few weeks] and decided that my lackluster (for Klagenfurt am not ripped from the wheel) are sightseeing and let me make the tracked path to the east.

: The east since then led a shady street in a desolate industrial area weekend and then I was somewhere in the country in an easy up and down with Views of the Karawanken, and then ascending to the forest, passed by mountain bike riders, and down in a village in and through it, people probably looked behind me, clearly, as was so often down 'arrow-fast'. A tingling, because to much I would be firing some buried memories of a surprising sight in a beautiful light in, but that did not happen at all, but doubts began to rise at this or that distant view, "this castle back there, you were still determined times ? - Yes may be, the view looks familiar, but perhaps not "And somewhere a dog barking behind me..

Then the road went into a narrow path of, and I doubted my predetermined track, but all agreed and I drove to the St.Kanzian, first memory point. There we had children in our holiday (three-four were times we probably in Carinthia) bathed, one was jumping off the bridge into the water, had splashing (which is lucky when an air mattress was there), or swam at all, I had my brother once almost deeply moved, panicked, to a man who watched it, decided he jumped in to pull my brother setting to free me from my panic and our brothers and sisters to the first unsuspecting, then bewildered and finally return grateful parents. Compared to most was the hilly bank, and as I went now: Bustle. So there is still bathed, swam, sank, rescued. Cars, campsites, swimming pools, cars, fun bikes, cars. Since then more quickly, a place to pause and reflection was found.


But further stated: into what I actually recognized: west of the road a gentle wooded hills back (blue berries and someone that I remember singing "Yes we san there by bike!) and east Buchbrunn,

somehow crooked, white, but so beautiful, simple church with the weather cock on the tower and swallows, the evening aufgreregt drum rum or highly fluttered over it [and said someone on the basis of a swallow flying altitude the weather the next day]. And crickets in the dark, because the Church does not stand in the middle of a village surrounded by houses and roads, trees and benches and a cemetery, but hardly the heart of the existing village and therefore surrounded on three sides by fields and only on one side, and there was only one access road, which soon in a gravelly dirt road on left, two courtyards, and one of the two, who belonged to "the farmer" as my father said, and "the farmer" we made regularly for three weeks Summer vacation. As I stood with my first trike and photographed the church, then - somewhat shyly, hiding - the yard of a lot smaller than my memory had previously claimed, and therefore so was not a real court, perhaps. But otherwise, everything seemed to fit. Whether the rent or to tourists? It did not look it. Whether there lived a farmer? Even then it did not. As we watched the moon landing, got chicken pox, we saw three weeks noon ennui, if the parents had gone to bed (so we are not in the Audi in Carinthia and Slovenia, and once even in Italy, in Grado [God, that was great, why was possible for there not to spend the whole holiday?] were on the road), we smelled hay and animals in stables and manure heaps, drank the adults in the evening Slivowitz.

even thought I looked and in the fields along the road, because on which I had once put up about something angry and hurt to go away and was then, of course, but vice versa, in time, even before the parents sat down at the afternoon coffee table . And if I do not reverse that? Desire I had, now take the road to Eberndorf, the third stop of my trip memories, but dust and dirt from me stopped.

Instead, back on the main road, and as I was guided by a sign but in the fields, on a cycle route, namely, paved the created there has been. I followed her, went to the white elongated pin, and was fixed there. What I just remembered? At a butcher shop and, strangely, oddly enough there was the still, just closed today on Sunday, which was probably a flaw in my planning, because now I had to go in and desire to ask for a sausage. So I decided only to now be good to let the stuff of 40 years ago, here - I had thought at the planning - I would look for a room, but I left Eberndorf to continue in a south-easterly direction, then followed the boundary , near which the town signs auswiesen also the Slovenian name, against the will of Haider's Carinthia, as indeed is known. Little traffic Here, in one place the remains of a folk festival, benches, tables and stage were collected, and put away. Slowly, I was looking for an accommodation, but found nothing, went on instead to the first Loibach then the St. Margarethner brook, it was clear to the end that I was now only a stone's throw away from the former border crossing with Slovenia. Since I wanted to but the next day out, so I decided to Bleiburg to drive and to stay there. Three were

's surprises in the hotel : it was friendly and cheap, in the room I found the solution of an artist who was called as "the farmer" at that time, and on the stairs, I discovered in all kinds of pictures more or less prominent visitors also one of Artmann (and the second look after I with the landlady about it and now she had pointed out to me, even one by Shakespeare and by Krassnitzer, the " actor, you know "). Artmann was here but the times - in the great hall, which now stood my trike, many years ago, as the mother brought the house still. Also, I learned of the landlady. I strolled up and down the street, looking in shop windows of small galleries and craft shops nice and looked for a place on the road (for the evening was as mild as the evening before 40 Years) at the hotel restaurant. There was beer and add a delicious dinner. Young people who arrived by and by on bicycles, shared a large table, and one of them told of Paris, for, as he now lived. I liked everything very well.
