Flying? Yes Please!


Finally we got some good weather. It seems like cold winter jumped in to the summer. I went flying th*ree times. I almost got used to my new harness. But I will have to make some more adjustments.
At least I made few good launches and landings. It is easy to land at huge landing in Vipava valley.

Last week when I was driving home from Graz my car broke down 20km in front of my home. I had had it at mechanics, but it has broken anyway. I paid 80eur to get it back home and to realize that he will not drive me anymore- at least not with this engine.
Goodbye KangurujĨek (the name of my car) you were the best car, bedroom, dining room, kitchen, transporter of all my sport gear … My friends and I had a lot of fun in this car.
Another day was a great flying day. I was sitting at home, sad, thinking about flying. Then my friend Josa Medved called. He saved my day. Came to pick me up and we went flying together. His surname Medved means bear in Slovenian language. So on Wednesday Bear and hedgehog were flying at Kovk. We launched early and instead of gaining height at the mountain we both got a thermal over the Vipava valley. That was little strange, but we had fun anyway. Later we were really lucky with hitchhiking and a nice boy drove us up the mountain to get Josa s car.
Josa is very interesting person. He already wrote some books, he is practicing yoga and is smart person to hang around. In the winter he escapes to Lanzarote and in the spring he comes back to Slovenia. Being over 70 years old he is extremely fit and a great hang gliding buddy. After a nice day we finished in local bar where he ate 5cups of homemade ice cream with cream and I managed 3.

This weekend my boyfriend came to my place. He brought everything for flying - except roof racks. He has his glider here already.We lost a flying day, but we went hiking, biking and kayaking, we had a great time with my family and enjoyed to watch a new born goose cups at our little farm.

I hope I will manage to get a new car soon. 

 h* - typo that I made. I forgot H so it was tree times. :) A fb friend sent me a notice about it. I decided to leave it marked with red.
