National Costume Festival

11th September

Today we are in Kamnik, and its the national costume festival, a folk music
and costume festival. I am in my element, not sure Chris is quite as
convinced! I am currently resisting the urge to buy a costume doll to add
to my collection of French regional costume dolls from years ago that I am
sure Mum will be delivering to us when we get home along with a whole lot
of other "stuff"! I have spent this morning listening to the accordian
competition and am now sat in a cafe watching the world go by.

Unfortunately we have van problems again, this time internally with our
power supply. The batteries are not holding their charge, and we spent last
night trying to figure it out with head torches in the dark after they
suddenly went flat! We are hoping its the batteries and not the solar
panel, but are going to have to figure it out slowly by a process of
elimination. Luckily the weather is good today so hopefully we can get some
charge back into them. We are moving the van every couple of hours to keep
it in full sun!

Anyway I am off to see if I can get some good costume pictures, without
being too obvious! The womens head dresses are stunning (Picture) And maybe
buy some more beads to make necklaces from the craft market.
