Slovenia: Hike & Fly: Begunjščica followed by a Birthday party in Oslica

Rok invited me to do the Hike & Fly with him from Begunjščica and since this event has also been on my to do list for a very long time, I simply said yes. Miha also joined us and together we hiked with big backpacks for 1000 vertical meters. Awesome weather at the top and stable conditions for flying put the smile on our faces. We prepared our gliders and took off. Brilliant way to celebrate Rok's birthday! We didn't say any cheers in the air, but immediately after we landed in Rodine and visited Mulej's brewery, we did. Couple of cheerses and we unfortunately had to move on.

With Nada we continued to Oslica, where we celebrated another birthday of three boys, Janez, Bine and Rok.

We started early and the sun soon said good morning
