Penelope spent the 19th at the Camping Venezia playground and pool (indoor and heated, thankfully); an administrative day for the grand-parents. We reunited her with her parents the next morning, April 20th, and then we got on the road to Slovenia and Croatia. When we were in the Balkans last summer, we saw two surpassingly great natural sights: the Plitvice Lakes (and waterfalls) in Croatia and the Skocjan Cave in Slovenia. Having gotten as far north and east as Venice, we decided to do another half day's drive to see these wonders again. They're that good. Plus, on the way in to Slovenia last year, we had noticed Porky's barbeque and smokehouse, in Kozina, Slovenia, just 250m beyond the border with Italy. We resolved then that, should we ever come back, we'd eat at Porky's. We were back, and indeed ate at Porky's both coming and going. Great American-style BBQ. Don't miss it!

On the other hand, don't be discouraged; you walk in, get a
table (it's popular), and begin excitedly to peruse the menu:
only it's 10 pages of antipastos, dulces, pizzas, calzones,
primi piattis, bevandes...only on the back cover do they get to
the BBQ, and it's really only the all-you-can-eat or the ribs
plate; we went with the latter; it was wonderful, the sauce like
KC Masterpiece or similar, the pork supple and fall off the
bone tender... |

Well, Porky's is a hoot and the food is good, even if the place
it satirizes is not so funny anymore |
