On the way south some ambulance driver must have spotted my license plate and/or nationality since he greeted me with some \,,/ ;)
Also I used to some smaller roads "on the way down". However the landscape was far different from the north side where I had been driving two days earlier.
Photographing was not allowed in the Škocjan Caves but I can assure you that the they were big and impressive:

The trip continued towards Piran. I already mentioned how the landscape was different from the north and that is definitely a special thing with Slovenia: in the north (close to Alps) there are mountains and rivers, in the middle there were hills growing with grapes and finally in the south it was really like in a Mediterranean country.
As I might have mentioned earlier, I was not truly blessed with the weather. In Germany the temperature had dropped closer to +10 °C and I was really not prepared for that. But during this day the temperature rised up to +35 °C and I was really sweating my ass off. Luckily in Piran I managed to drop my driving stuff in a tourist office so I could go around the city. Also you're not allowed to enter the city with a car but as I was trying to go in the big parking house before the city, the man at the door just waved that I should enter the city. And so I did since the bike went nicely past the toll booth ;)

After this I drove furthermore south towards the Croatian border. However I turned back around the Sečovlje Saltworks. The way back was bit hard since there was heavy traffic till Koper and the Sun was scorching really hard. I took the fastest way to Ljubljana since I was getting tired and it was getting quite late.
