I was at many hotels. I visited Postojna caves . This is a natural cave one of the biggest in the Europe. It has a mini train which is actually excited. Then I went to Ljubljana Hotel in Ljubljana. Ljubljana is amazing. This city is small but with big heart Finally I went to Sezana Lipica. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral//blog-754872.html We chugged through the outer suburbs of the industrial end of Verona following the Garmins instructions to the motorway. The Italian motorway has a speed limit of 130kph so we were soon whisking our way towards Ljubljana in Slovenia. Motorway driving was fairly boring but efficient so we covered 220kms in quick time.We chose to enter Slovenia via the adventure town of Soa so this meant gettin http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral/Bovec/blog-753334.html En partant de Bled nous n39en croyons pas nos yeux du soleil et un ciel clair Tant mieux parce nous allons dans les montagnes. Peu longtemps aprs notre dpart nous commenons apercevoir de superbes montagnes aux sommets enneigs wowAvant de continuer j39aimerais vous faire part chers 6 lecteurs de mes observations sur la conduite dans cette partie du monde C39est inv http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral/Bovec/blog-722898.html Day 27 28 16th 17th June LepenaDay 27 Assault on Mount KrnWe set off early and start our hike uphill at 700m. The Triglav National Park itineraries are simply marked by a red circle painted on rocks and trees along the way and therefore with the aid of a map navigation is reasonably simple. The terrain is rocky and the Dolomitic white limestone rocks scatter the ground beneath the beech an http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral/Bovec/blog-620140.html Days 25 26 14th 15th June Rovinj Lepena Soca Valley SloveniaIsnt it amazing that you can be breakfasting overlooking the Adriatic and then by supper time be sitting beside a mountain river surrounded by the most extraordinary Alpine scenery We continually marvel at how quickly we can change surroundings and cultures. Slovenia Ok guys who has been to Slovenia I suspect not th http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral/Bovec/blog-620137.html As we were driven by a 21 year old driver with some slovenian irish folk music on the radio we found ourselves once again going down another narrow mountain road at the speed of 80 km. As we raced passed the trees I could only laugh how yesterday going on a similar road at the speed of 10 km I was terrified and on the verge of a total meltdown. Jeff threw me a look that meant this is our l http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral/Bovec/blog-522194.html If you see me walking around and saying In a hundred years from now it won't make a difference you know Im not in my calmest mood. This mantra for some reason keeps me calm when I am dealing with high pressure situations which seems to be more often then not. As you can see from our pictures we are just in nirvana and stress is the farthest thing from my mind. Four little houses great view http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral/Tolmin/blog-521881.html The day began with another road race on the local autoroutes. They are toll roads you have to buy a sticker every 6 months. There is something to be said for this system because the roads are very good and the tunnels are very costly to construct. The driving time is reduced compared to the local roads which are narrow and lots of curves. Lake Bled was a treat. The weather was wonderful and we w http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral/Goriska/blog-329441.html We left our campsite on the Soka River to travel to Lake Boheme getting there was a treat we drove onto a vehicle train that took us through various tunnels and through the mountain range it was really strange as we went through the tunnels still sitting in the van but enjoy breakfast along the way. The journey took 40 mins to reach Lake Boheme.We were recommended a camp site on the lake side http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral/Tolmin/blog-191026.html Same old Same Old for the Flying gang misus John who was up early for his Hike and Alex Antje Jeff were moving on to Austria for flying as the conditons here were to stable for them For the non flyers that means that that they are not able to stay up for long periods of time and usually flying consists of a top to Botom. Glen the hiker decided transport up today was the go no hiki http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral/Tolmin/blog-182630.html The Gang of Flyers got ready for transport to arrive altough Glen and Alex decided that they would hike up the mountain with their paragliders brave men. Lyd got ready for the 3 hire hike what a beautiful route taking in the River Waterfalls Medows Villages and ruins with butterflys bouncing along the pathway by your feet the heat pretty intense as well but a throughly rewarding http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral/Tolmin/blog-182627.html Welcome to Slovenia. We have a passenger with us today Glen from Christchurch New Zealand he was competing in the Chez open. Glen is travelling with us to Fly in Slovenia and meeting up with his friend in a couple of weeks in Switzerland. Slovenia is just beautiful it is stunning were we are. The camp site is located on the river soka which comes down from the Alps the water is so clear a http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral/Tolmin/blog-182619.html Siesta Yesterday was scary......we all went unconscious at about 4.30 pm after a hard day on the archeological sites and could not wake up......jet lag kicks in. This morning I woke at 4am to jagged throat and tap nose you were right David but not about to let a summer cold slow me down So after slow breakfast of Pasta Dura toast and Peanut Butter we went to the markets to pick up fresh ingre http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral/Tolmin/blog-174100.html Set off South from Kobarid not intending to visit Nova Gorrica but took a wrong turn and ended up there anyway. Confirmed original decision as it is a bit of an armpit. Took another wrong turn and ended up in Italy. Tried to sneak back into Slovenia via back road but border guard politely said crvlk zu bij lkja yasaka hy contrpsksa where do you think you re going not through my border http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral/Nova-Gorica/blog-165866.html Spent the day cycling up the Soca valley beside the river Soca which is a turquoise green glacial river. The valley is very beautiful through wooded mountains. Lots of canoeing hiking and biking around here. Stopped in a cafe to try the local speciality of the valley which turned out to look like a steamed cornish pasty filled with apple nuts and cinnamon and covered in syrup ideal cyclin http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral/Tolmin/blog-164368.html Arrived safely in Klagenfurt bikes intact thanks to careful handling by Ryan Air. Couple of nice days around the lakes of Austria and then the first mountain pass into Slovenia. 18 gradient appears to be the only road sign the authorities have Diane walked to Slovenia and was serviously annoyed that Richard had turned down a tractor ride to the top of the pass and international border point. T http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral/Tolmin/blog-163968.html After 4 really enjoyable days in Budapest it was time to move to our next to Lbuljana stay overnight there pick up a car the next morning and drive into to the Slovenian countryside to Bovec. Well fair to say things didnt start off too well. As it turned out we incorrectly assumed that the train would leave from the main station Keleti the same one we arrived at 4 days earlier from Bratislava http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Slovenia/Slovenian-Littoral/Bovec/blog-162423.html Ah the first and most ignored words of Italian I learnt in Italy. Actually now I can say that I have truly rounded my knowledge of Italian Nouns. I have fifty or so for dining out still my five medical words does capella count and now I know about a hundred to do with religious icons. Round up of Italy If I see another mediaval fresco of Madonna Col Bambino I will scream.

Suffice to say we had an excellent weekend. Sampled the amazing Slovenian Alps around Bovec canyoning and hydrospeeding and a little drinking and eating.
