Note: This post is out of order but I don't know how to fix it. I've basically rested. It's been raining so haven't been tempted to go sightseeing really. Technical bit - not offended if you skip this ; )
I looked at the bike charging system. The power regulator had blown up, probably due to water getting into the box (which had no seal). The regulator was shorting out the generator so the front light wouldn't work and had also damaged the battery pack. Since removing the regulator I now have a working generator and light. I spotted a 8500mAh Power Bank battery for sale on a Slovenian version of ebay which will keep all my gizmos topped up in between stops.. The seller lived in Ljubljana. I enlisted the help of Kaja on the front desk and she phoned the seller and he was round the hostel within 30 minutes - deal done.
This is the 3rd tour this system has been used on so it's not new but I'm disappointed that the regulator was not built to be weatherproof. I might post this to the company that sells them.
My route to Belgrade is here
