Always interesting narrow streets of Piran:
Then we quickly visited Socerb Castle.
The views towards the Adriatic Sea weren't exactly magnificent. :D
Our next destination was the Škocjan Cave. Photography is not allowed inside, but I took a few pics at the exit and from the viewpoint. The view from the viewpoint is actually very impressive, with Škocjan village on the other side of the collapsed valley and the Reka River flowing below.
The visit of the cave was a completely different story from many years ago when the Reka River was extremely polluted, dirty, smelly and covered in foam. Now it's clear and green, making the whole experience really memorable.
As I already mentioned, taking photos is not allowed and we could only take our cameras out near the exit. I could barely take one picture before our guide turned off the lights!
When outside, you have to take a path through another cave back to the entrance.
Bleak weather or not, this was a great day. :)

Nice! A da se ne sme fotkat v jami? Hmm, a je bilo vedno tako? So mi pa všeč tiste s starim Piranom. Bo treba it na pot ob priliki. ;)
Lušne fotke!
Wow! Beautiful and I had no idea you had such wonderful caves. You do live in a wonderland. :)
Lepo! Fin izlet! Tut mi smo bli ne dolgo nazaj na nekem podobnem (Škocjan, Štanjel).
V jami pa je prepovedano slikanje zaradi nastajanja alg na jamskih tvorbah...no, verjetno še zaradi česa drugega :)
Sašo: hvala, res se ne sme, je en kup razlogov, od rasti alg, kar je omenila Teja, do tega, da turisti ne bi poslušali vodiča, ker bi samo škljocali, vodene ture bi se razvlekle na 3 ure, za stative itak ni prostora na ozkih poteh, brez stativa so pa fotke brezvezne. Se pa da zaprosit za dovoljenje, da greš pofotkat samostojno, ne kot del ture.
Uroš: hvala!
Schmoo: thanks! I keep telling you that... so when are you coming over? ;) And you should see the inside of the cave, where I couldn't take photos! Incredible! I'll send you some links.
Teja: ja, fino je bilo, pač fotke zaradi bednega vremena niso nevemkaj, ampak vseeno je bilo vredno. Ma ja, več razlogov, glej zgoraj. Tukaj so turisti prepoved vsaj upoštevali. Lani sem bila v Postojnski jami, kjer so fotkali na veliko, briga jih prepoved, kljub temu, da jih je vodič kar naprej opozarjal. :(
se da res zaprosit, to bi bilo fino ^L^
