We spent 7 days in our home exchange in Zapresic,
Croatia. We experienced a heat wave
during the first 5 days, followed by a welcomed thunder storm and rain!
During our time we crossed through to Slovenia to visit the
Lake Bled and also go to an aquatic centre. We had to laugh each time crossing
the border and needing to get our passports stamped.
One day we did a drive up Mount Mikulic (by accident)
looking for some bat caves. We had a
lovely picnic and beautiful view from the top before heading back down the
mountain to find the bat caves on the other side of the mountain, near the
bottom. After walking up hill in 38° we
loved standing in the cave which was only 10° to cool off! The photos inside
the cave didn’t turn out very well, but there were heaps of bats, 8 different
species.
There was also a visit to the Neanderthal Museum. The museum
had lots in visual shows and wax figures.
There is also an actual excavation site a short walk along a path from
the museum.
Like always our home exchange was fantastic! Our apartment
was above some local shops, had air conditioning (very positive with the hot
weather) and interesting toys for the kids.
