Sykkeltur til Slovenia
26.8 - 2.9, 2013
Her følger opplegget til sykkelturen vår som går til Slovenia i august i år. Vi fant turen på Cycling Slovenia sine websider
HER. Turen er en 8-dagers hvor vi sykler totalt 230km og hvor bagasjen blir fraktet for oss. Hotellrom er booket på forhånd av Helia Travel Agency, og det eneste vi har å gjøre er å sykle fra hotell til hotell etter forhåpentligvis forståelig kart :o) Man kan velge om man vil leie sykler eller å bringe egne. Vi drar med egne sykler!
