He&#8217;s parked somewhat cheekily just a few hundred metres from a \u20ac10-a-night camperstop here in Novo Mesto.\u00a0As we don&#8217;t need any of its services, we&#8217;ve opted to free camp just outside the Revoz Avtomobiliov factory (which makes Renault cars) instead (N45.79587, E15.17258).<\/p>\n<p>First things first &#8211; Charlie update. He&#8217;s currently sitting in the kitchen watching Jay make our tea. After the jab at the vets he is now on his first of three days worth of tablets and is loads better. His breathing is loads better and snore levels are almost back to normal, which was a tad annoying last night as we slept in the otherwise silent forest.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday afternoon we headed out for a walk with Charlie as he&#8217;d not been out while his breathing was troubling him, or rather every time we took him out he would just stand there wheezing, poor little fella. We followed the signs to the exciting sounding &#8216;Bunker 44&#8217; but sadly when we got there it was just a hatch in the earth, which neither of us fancied climbing into. We were both on a high state of alert for bears and wild cats, totally forgetting the smaller wildlife which we also spotted on our walk.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21186\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21186\" class=\"wp-image-21186 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00519-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Snake\" width=\"620\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00519-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00519-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00519-1024x512-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-21186\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">What&#8217;s that?

There wasn&#8217;t a beam of light to be seen anywhere, except from Zagan, so we switched off all his lights and stepped out to stare in amazement at the stars. There were so many we couldn&#8217;t even see the constellations that we know, then we realised how silent it was, then I got a little scared so I nipped back into Zagan and headed for bed &#8211; duvets are the best form of self defence.<\/p>\n<p>This morning the skies were bright blue and the trees vivid green, it was if someone has turned up the colour controls on the world. We set course for \u00a0Novo Mesto and made our way out of the woods and off Ko\u010devski Rog.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21189\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21189\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21189\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00528-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Podturn Solvenia\" width=\"620\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00528-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00528-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00528-1024x512-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-21189\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Seeing the town of Podturn was like returning to civilisation<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Spotting a post office in the spa town of Dolenjske Toplice we found somewhere to park as needed to get a vignette for the motorway and I suspected we might struggle on a Sunday.

We walked around a few of the streets and the main square but nothing really captivated us other than a few bear things, so after a quick stop at the post office it was time to move on.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21177\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21177\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21177\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00539-1024x768-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Stuffed brown bear\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00539-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00539-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00539-1024x768-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00539-1024x768-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00539-1024x768-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-21177\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spotted on a\u00a0balcony in town, possibly the closest we&#8217;ll get to one now we&#8217;ve left the woods<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_21183\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21183\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21183\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00541-1024x629-1024x629.jpg\" alt=\"Not wanting to be outdone, Charlie the bear!\" width=\"620\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00541-1024x629.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00541-1024x629-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00541-1024x629-768x472.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-21183\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Not wanting to be outdone, Charlie the bear!<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Vignette Info<\/strong> &#8211; I bought a one week vignette (for vans under 3.5t, heavier vans have to\u00a0pay tolls) for Slovenia.\u00a0This means we can use the motorways which form a cross through the country, meeting at the capital Ljubljana, however I&#8217;m pretty sure we have the wrong one. The lady at the post office spoke some English and was very helpful, but because Zagan is over 1m 30cm she insisted I needed a class 2b vignette which cost \u20ac30 for the week. Looking on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dars.si\/Dokumenti\/Toll\/Methods_of_payment\/Vehicles_up_to_35_t\/Vignette_308.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">internet<\/a>, and at other Slovenian motorhomes, I think we should be\u00a0class 2a which would have been \u20ac15. I don&#8217;t think the post office lady understood that we were a motorhome and not a van, so my top tip for buying a vignette is do it at a petrol station and point to your van!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21185\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21185\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21185\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00544-1024x667-1024x667.jpg\" alt=\"Class 2B Vignette Slovenia\" width=\"620\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00544-1024x667.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00544-1024x667-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSC00544-1024x667-768x500.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-21185\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our 2b vignette (2a has a picture of a car on it)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The roads were nice and wide and tarmacked today, which was a very pleasant change from yesterday, so it only took 15 minutes to reach Novo Mesto.

Even the tourist office closes at 2pm on a Saturday, luckily I got in at 1.55pm and grabbed a map.
