Day 27:2nd day in Slovenia/Boreci

Tonight was freezing,but that actually helps me sleep,and 12°C for a polish person should be summer(right?) I realized about half an hour into collecting my stuff and getting ready,that it's RAINING...UGH! my stuff still wasn't entirely dry from the Venice road-swimming,and it will get wet again,but at least in Italy it was warm!! -.-here it's freezing,and today again, my road is full of moutains,which means going uphill I will be warm,but downhill will be a inside-freezer experience,and full of adrenaline because my breaks aren't at their best,and I enjoy cycling at high speed(my dad keeps telling me one day it will end with ribs,teeth and asphalt stew,but Its his job to tell me this)

This is where I slept yesterday
Does this name ring a bell to informaticians&mass effect fans?
Somewhere halfway I strong wind started,but it also blew the clouds away,and it began to get warmer.
I ran a flat tire,and used my last tire,and let me tell you as much as I like slovenia,they don't really have big cities&shopping centres or big supermarkets(not even in Ljubljana,whole Slovenia is less than Warsaw's population....I think)
So I began to get really stressed about the fact that if I get a flat tire again,I have no way to fix it,or buy a new one
Why do I worry about this if I just changed one tire,and made sure both pressure in the front&back is okay?
Because,bad things like to come all at the same time,and roads are getting worse(and Hungary at the end of the day is 25km away from me,and I have been told they have....not such good asphalt)
Somewhere I managed to buy the most expensive 700-28C tire in my life!!! 6 FREQKING EUROS FOR A PIECE OF RUBBER?!?!? Jesus....
Not much happened today on the road,besides rain,of course I saw a lot of cycling travellers,and an impressive elderly couple on a tandem bike(2person-1bike) going uphill.I must say,their bike looked heavy...maybe they were German ,and it was a modern tank of some sort(September is incoming and they feel like invading Poland? Hahaha I don't know)
I didn't even realize that my phone battery was dying and that my power bank is running low(I noticed later in the morning of the next day)
Boreci turned out to be a charming village(finally out of moutains and surrounded by fields,by the way, today I cycled 14% inclination on uphill road,and 18% downhill,CRAZY!!!) I find houses in Slovenia so nicely designed,normally bright walls,with dark wooden finishing,and a dark brown,or red brick roofs,grass EVERYWHERE is cut to a minimum height,gardens seems actually quite minimalistic,small amounts of flowers,but very pretty&coulourfull ones,some people conserve old windmills and wells on their property,plenty of horse stables,sheep and mosquitoes
Tomorrow I am going to Hungary,and I am only 231km away from Ozora festival,where I will reunite with my parents,again!!!(shame my phone died and I can't call&tell them this news)
I am to tired to go around the village and ask for a place to sleep,and I rested well yesterday on the couch I was offered in Trojane,so today I will sleep in bushes next to a sunflower field,and I will plan my destination in Hungary,in the morning
