Kobarid to Tolmin

Spent another day in Kobarid as thunderstorms raged overhead. Finally set off and headed to the Tolminka Gorge, where we went for a hike. Stopped off in Tolmin to get supplies at the supermarket, and noticed a large amount of hippies milling around. Had our suspicions confirmed when we asked one of them and were told there was a festival just down the road. Decided we couldn't pass up the opportunity since it had fallen into our laps, whereas usually we're always a day too late for anything interesting. The small reggae festival was on the banks of the Soca river with one of the stages beautifully situated right on a beach. Managed to get on the local radio again, as we were interviewed by a roving reporter who wanted to know how their little festival comapred to english ones. Bands and DJ's all over cental Europe played a mix of music from classic reggae to some more funky fusion beats. Dancing was a welcome change to our usually quiet campsite routine. As it was a special occasion we even stayed up till midnight.
