Slovenia-Croatia Day 4: Reversion to the 'mean'

Day 4 26 May 2019 (Sunday) The driving jokes kept coming thick and fast. Kanu asked me to reverse the car from the parking bay while they could commence and complete their breakfast. The jokes were steady and plentiful. The reassuring thing was that they were not treating me differently after my eye injury i.e. they were being mean as ever. Reversion to the mean, to coin a phrase! The plan for today was “Bohinj lake: Hike / Vogel cable car / Savica waterfall” before driving to Croatia (3 hours) and staying in Hotel Mariana & Rastoke at night to check out Plitvice Lakes National Park tomorrow. We ate leftover pizzas from yesterday, batata vadas and poha and checked out at 10 am and drove to Lake Bohinj (which, after learning that j is pronounced as i in Slovenian, Ashwani calls Lake Mohini). We took a cable car to the top. This is part of Julian Alps and it is also a ski resort in the winter, although there appear to be only a few slopes here. Th
