Took my sweet time getting up this morning with the steady fall of rain on the bivy. Finally emerged around 10 to a clearing sky. Dried all my shit in the sun, packed up, and headed to center Novigrad to exchange some money and have a coffee. Got some food at the supermarket, headed out of town to hitch a ride to Buje; an old town on a hill. Walked down into the valley and the border, taking my spot again amongst the cars. This time, I was John Wayne for some reason, and after a bit of questioning, I was into Slovenia. Cop stopped me within sight of the border control, and after checking my passport, told me Sezana was past Kopur, which was just up the hill. Fucking mountain. My headlight blinking in the back, I stumbled up the endless snaking road toward the faint lights at the top. Got fed up with an annoying blister on my foot and gave it a slice. Precipitation increased and my pace slowed. Pupils got quite a workout going from darkness to blinding headlights. One car passing another coming downhill came way too close and I assume scared the shit out of both of us. Topping the hill into Kopur, I convinced myself that I deserved a beer and hot plate of food, after the 20 km or so walk.
