Hey guys, sorry it’s been so long since the last update. There has been a lot going on and I’ve had no time to sit down and write! After Harry’s departure on Thursday morning, Sam and I set off for Croatia. On the way, we wanted to stop by and see Melania Trump’s hometown of Sevnica since it was not…
Hello everybody! Wednesday morning we left the Lake Bohinj Airbnb and took the long ride back to do the Russian Road through the Vrsic Pass. I had already done it while Anna Maria was here, but I really wanted Sam and Harry to get to check out that road and it’s incredible views. I really didn’t mind doing it twice….
Last night we stumbled across a couple of Slovenian guys playing some real traditional American country music, so we decided to check them out. Best decision ever – there was a great crowd there and they were enthusiastic about the music and it was a great atmosphere overall. They were called the “Pointless Rebels”. We stayed for their whole show…
Today the 4 of us took a free walking tour of downtown Ljubliana and learned a lot about the history of the city. Last night and this morning we were pretty much rained out, but this afternoon the sun came back, so we got lucky on the weather. As we speak, we are kicking back by the river drinking the…
It was great to see these guys for the first time in a few years!
Hey everybody! We took off this morning from Lake Bled and headed about 30 minutes away to Lake Bohinj. Lake Bohinj is the largest lake in Slovenia. While it is not nearly as famous as Lake Bled and it may lack some of the charm and tourist infrastructure of Lake Bled, the lesser number of tourists and rugged beauty give…
Today we woke up to temperatures in the 90’s with no chance of rain in the forecast, but by noon it was pouring rain and had fallen in to the high 60’s. Weather in the Alps I guess! We decided to go ahead with our plan to hike the Vintgar Gorge, which is just north of Lake Bled. This place…
Today we set out from Kobarid to tackle the Vrsica Pass enroute to Lake Bled. The pass, also known as the Russian Road passes through some of the highest mountains in Slovenia. It is called the Russian Road because it was constructed by 10,000 Russian prisoners of war during WW1. Sadly, hundreds of the prisoners died during the construction of…
Today was a very scenic day, with a lot of driving through various types of landscapes. We started in Piran and set out northward to Kobarid, which is where we were booked tonight at a bed and breakfast. Directly north of Piran is a small town called Izola, that provided us a nice view from above just before we turned…
Hey everybody. Well, today Anna-Maria finally arrived in Ljubliana after the missed flight yesterday. I picked her up at the airport this morning, but unfortunately her checked bag never arrived and the people at the airport have no idea where it is. Since everything for her week here was already booked and paid for, the best we could do was…
