Day 9 Resting today and Postojna caves.

Today was a rest day and eight set off in a minibus to see the castle and some distant caves. Six of us cycled in sunny weather to the caves in Postojna, which we passed on our descent yesterday, and which were absolutely excellent. It cost us 28Euros for a 90 minute trip which consisted of a 2km train journey through a magnificent cave system before a 1 km guided walk through the most amazing natural cave features to be seen. The quality and quantity was mind blowing and well worth visiting. The growth on the stalactites and mites is 1cm in 10 years so the growth seen was covering thousands of years and resembled all sorts of intricate shapes, which are incredible. There were hundreds of people in the caves at any one time but you never felt part of a massive group since they were split into different languages. Postojna itself is pretty unremarkable so we ambled back in the afternoon and rested.
