I realised that as I started this blog so late into my stay here that I never got the chance to talk about some of the places we have managed to visit.
Podhum: A small village where Mr B's Grandfather lives and Mr B's family name originates from. We spent a day there by the river, having a BBQ (rostilj) and swimming in the icy water. Mr B and I went for a walk up the mountain, but were barred by spiky thistles, bees, the heat, and the possibility of snakes. A local man even stopped to tell us to be careful of the slithery things. My in-laws have land by the river in Podhum, which they intend to turn into a summer house - one day. It is just beautiful around there. I am looking forward to going again when the weather gets better.
