Slovenian coast-panoramic flight

I talked with nephew and niece and they didn’t fly so far. So I proposed panoramic flight as the gift for their birthdays. I waited for a weekend with nice weather. On Sunday morning it was great weather so we moved to Portorož airport with car. We need ed more than an hour but we still had enough time for a drink, 10 €.

Before flight we paid 125 € for 15 minutes flight that would cover rout Aerodrom Portorož – Piran – Izola – Koper – Aerodrom Portorož. We moved to plane. It was Reims-Cessna F172N Skyhawk (S5-DBX) almost my age. After we borded we soon took off on short airport strip. We finished in Croatia and than returned to Slovenian side. We saw Slovenaian cost with some inland villages. At Koper we turned around and we had sea on one side and coastal towns on other.

After 15 minutes we landed at the airport. The pilot was young but experienced and friendly, asking if everything was okay throughout the whole experience. Now we were hungry and we went to Stazione Parenzana in Seča. I ordered fried girikes and fries with a local beer, the kids had a burger and coke (€54). On the way back we had a terrible traffic jam and it took us almost 3 hours with one gas station stop (€14) to get home with all the transport.
