Last day in Cakovec

Up Emil and I get around 8.30am, just after Marjan has just come home and getting ready to go to bed. He sleeps for a couple of hours before he decides it's time to get up. We all relax for the morning before we go to visit Spomenka at work. She is a nurse and works at the local hospital. We have a quick coffee with her and then a small tour of the hospital.




















After visiting Spomenka at work we go to Liljana's for lunch. Once again we are treated to a feast. Today we have a lovely BBQ lunch, very relaxing.




















We sit around talking and shared our stories of out time at the beach. Emil and Andrija are playing outside and having lots of fun. They have just picked up from where they left off last time. The kids are having a ball and us adults are relaxing and enjoying each others company. Temperature outside is 30 degrees. A little on the warm side, but nice with a slight breeze. After lunch we go for a walk on their property. It is so pretty and very well kept.





















Late afternoon, they take us to a new restaurant that has just opened up in Gornji Mihaljevec and is currently the place to be at. It's called Restoran Kneja and is out in the middle of nowhere. It's a beautiful building, all made from timber and has a really homely feel.





















There are so many people everywhere that it's hard to find a table. We end up sitting inside and have a few drinks, while the kids have some hot chips. We stay for a while then head off.

Our next stop is the local cemetery in Cakovec. Here there are many grave sites to visit. Our first stop is for Marjan's uncle, whom past away 2 years ago,



















followed then by his Grandmother (on his mother's side ) who passed away 5 years ago, 10 days after Emil was born.



















After visiting these 2 graves we, then proceed to visit the graves of his grandparents on his dad's side.



















We also have a walk around the cemetery just checking out all the old graves. It's starting to get late, so time to head off.

Back to Spomenka's we get.  They are all waiting for us. We sit around and talk, once again sharing more stories about our time at the beach and reminiscing on stories about the wedding. We have many laughs and a good night together.































We have another late night. We don't get to bed until after 1am.
