May holidays

This year has to be the best year considering public holidays in Slovenia- they all come on week days (Monday - Friday). Which basically means a lot more of free time. For example- the Day of fight against occupation (27th April) came on Friday, Day of work (1st & 2nd May) came on Tuesday and Wednesday. And if you could take a day off on Monday you got to be home for 6 days.
I didn't take full advantage of it though. I mostly lazied around this time- sleeping late, going to pub for couple beers and stuff like that. Completely enjoyed it though. On Friday we (people from our folklore group) did the "Watermill path"- walking path from Damelj to Vinica (it's similar, but a bit further down the river as a path I walked in November) by Kolpa. And in the evening we completed it with celebrating golden prize on national tamburica competition- we played tamburicas at local pub, and emptied some 5 beer steins. Well, it doesn't sound much considering we were a group of 12, but considering half of people there were women, and each stein holds 6,5 liters I think we might call it extraordinary. ;-)
Anyway, the day I enjoyed a lot was Tuesday. Together with my nephew and niece we went walking down the river from Vinica- all the way to Dejani (Balkovci). It was a glorious day- here are some pictures, so judge by yourself...
