Rogova Gorge and other things

As promised last time here are a few pictures of the Rugova gorge. It really is spectacular, with tunnels cut through the rock (one leading straight onto a hairpin bend), a zigzag to gain height and overhanging rocks. There is a ski resort at the top of the gorge, though as there was no snow last winter it presumably did not do too well.

In the gorge there are now a number of restaurants and a couple of hotels, as well as the bottling plant for Rugova water. We had a picnic on the banks of the river a few hundred yards above the plant. The braver members of our group went swimming. It was reported to be extremely cold.




Also this time a photo of the house we have bought in Chesterfield as our eventual retirement home. In the meantime we shall be letting it, and hopefully we now have a tenant.
Our house is the second from the left, no 7. Access is actually through the front and back gardens of no 8, but this seems to be perfectly normal in Chesterfield.
