Stari Kovac, Bovec, Slovenia

Stari Kovac is a very popular place in Bovec - good pizzas and other food. A recommendation.

Roald Bruil a.k.a. Roli - working for Aktivni Planet in Bovec as a rafting and kayaking guide, doing his best to provide safe and adventures whitewater experience on beautiful Soca river. He is a very interesting person, born and raised in Groningen in Netherladns and lived in a lot of places so far. His wandering soul to Spain, California, Colorado and for the last couple of years he's been in Slovenia: Bovec and Ljubljana. His great-great-grand father was a bicycle mechanic. That means something in Netherlans - the land of bikes. Many countries, many cities, many jobs: grape picking in Spain, trying not to damage too many packages at Deutsche Post, fixing cars and selling them, real estate cold calling in hot California, working at water purification plant, ... Besides all the sports he is doing as part of his job, he also climbs and does mountain biking and downhill. There is a big IBM site in Boulder in Colorado. Sitting with him in Bovec places is really interesting: everybody knows him here. "As soon as your aspirations and dreams are finalized, you are already limiting yourself. Open end is the name of the game."

Dog Jacques that he found in Ljubljana.


If there are no rooms avalable, one should not have FREE sign hanging. Stari Kovac is not paying attention. In the middle of August there are no rooms available in Bovec - it's top season (and I asked, of course).
