Took me a little longer this time as we’ve been chilling out on beaches away from big towns more than before so internet cafes are not so plentiful, but here is the link to the next Facebook album of photos from our trip…

Slovenia was so good its taken me till Croatia to write about it! After a hot couple of weeks in Italy the cool mountain air and the icy waters of the river Soca were a welcome change, I even put trousers on. The entire country seems to be geared up for tourism and the information place in the small town on Bovec was open on a sunday evening!
We decided to way lay the white water rafting due to 8′C water and hired some mountain bikes for the day. Despite the “easy” rating on the guide brochure the track was really pretty much none existent at times, Slovenes are hardcore mountain bikers and we were in the minority wearing normal cotton clothing as opposed to skin tight lycra. nice.
Ljubljiana was equally fun, but for slightly different reasons! we stayed in a commune called Metelkova just outside the centre and discovered that the majority of the city descent there in the evening, even on a tuesday! Metal music was roared at us so we made a cup of tea, had a nice sit down, and chatted to a french boy.
