Fusine @ Tarvisio

DAY 15
We spent today mostly on our own - exploring a bit of the local countryside.



On route to Slovenia, via the state highway SS54, are the Fusine Lakes. There are 2, but we only visited the lower one.




if you enlarge this photo you can see the location of the lakes.

DH enjoyed driving the cousin's Alfa 147 Diesel, and with its sharp cornering, the road to the lakes was less traumatic despite the ice on the road (can't you tell we don't ski??).

























The lower lake was picturesque & all was very still, so quiet in fact that the sound made by DS & DD skidding rocks across the lake made a deafening, eerie sound, almost alien-like.......




















DD & DS had a go at standing on the frozen lake, but DS's addition started the ice cracking and they were ordered off by their concerned parents!!











All in all an enjoyable morning!
































In the afternoon, DH had agreed to assist one of the cousins with photographing the shop as they are planning a website soon (excellent! so now we can order their great foodie items direct!!)


The rest of us spent the afternoon on the bottom of the ski slopes - the fields would not be open until Saturday (Christmas Eve) and today was only Thursday.

Still, they look like they enjoyed it.....
