The ride through the rain continued. We woke up and headed straight to Croatia, or a 15 minute drive. ;) We had planned to visit a national park, and enjoy the ride. However as we sat drinking our morning coffee watching the rain alternate with drizzle we knew the trip was coming to an end. It had been raining since our second day in Albania. Although Montenegro gave us a slight reprieve, the rain was back with a vengeance. Enough to make riding uncomfortable, and camping next to impossible. (Its one thing when the tent is up and it rains, its another setting it up and suffering inside the tent with everything wet.) So we crossed the border and headed straight to Slovenia with no time spent in Croatia.
When we crossed the border however the rain stopped, completely, not even drizzle! It was still overcast, but we took advantage of some riding in Slovenia, and we gasp! even camped!
We set up in a field, we beat the rain, we settled in for a little reading before bed. All was comfy and nice. And then CLOP CLOP Cloppety KLOP and a sound that sounded a cross between a savage wild cat and a really pissed off duck.
Horny deer.
I barely slept that night from fear that they would fight and crash into our tent causing permanent hoof shaped dents where my face use to be. Patrick moved the bikes so they would crash into the bike first, but once the adrenaline was released I was awake and that was it.
The next morning after an otherwise uneventful night:

Rallige Hirsche
22. Septembre 2008 | de
Heute haben wir ein feines PlĂ€tzchen gefunden. Eine hĂŒgelige Wiese am Waldrand. Ideal um unser Zelt etwas geschĂŒtzt und versteckt aufzuschlagen. Sogar der Regen hat aufgehört. Die Nebelschwaden ziehen in der DĂ€mmerung herauf, noch schnell das Tagebuch fertig schreiben und dann ab in die Heia….
Zeltplatz
Doch was ist das? Ein lautes röhrendes GerĂ€usch, ganz in der NĂ€he. Und dann die Antwort vom Waldrand. Hirsche in der Brunft! Die nĂ€chsten 2 Stunden röhrt es nur so um uns. Wir hören wie die Viecher, die man nur als Schatten sehen kann, ĂŒber die nasse Wiese galoppieren. Wir hoffen, dass sie im Eifer des Gefechts nicht unser Zelt ĂŒbersehen, und uns ĂŒber den Haufen rennen…
Das hört sich alles gar nicht so wild an, aber wenn man in einem nassen Zelt, irgendwo in Slowenien in der Dunkelheit hockt, ist einem plötzlich doch gar nicht mehr so wohl zumute ;-)
