What the hell is a Trieste and what am I doing here?
Ronchi dei Legionari
2. elokuuta 2022, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Just kidding it's all gone to plan. Too well to plan... I'm almost disappointed. Ronchi dei Legionari is a very sleepy deserted town, also interestingly there is a lot of the Slovenian language aroundLue lisää
Gorizia / Nova Gorica

Thanks to Google maps being an absolute jizzcock and lying to me about when the train goes, I absolutely (and unnecessarily) powered through Italian Gorizia and into Slovenian Nova Gorica.

Ok ok, I know I already put a footprint here but seeing it in the day is different. Good thing I didn't plan to go far today, because I can't seem to go more than a few steps without stopping to takeLue lisää

How is it even possible for a river be this colour?! From the first of what I anticipate will be many swims, the temperature is refreshingly cold, but thankfully not Valbonë freezing
Tolmin Gorges
3. elokuuta 2022, Slovenia ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
After sinking 8 ice lollies and like a kilogram of grapes in Tolmin, I enjoyed the 'nature' along the Tolminka river as I made my way to Tolmin Gorges. My first time back in Triglav national park inLue lisää

So far today I've been following a stage of the Alpe Adria trail, which actually stretches from Austria's highest peak, Grossglockner, all the way to the Adriatic. On the ascent up to the firstLue lisää

Following Krn, I decided to switch onto the E7 European long distance path, which actually extends the entire way from Portugal to Serbia. Hopefully I'll remember to turn off, otherwise the nextLue lisää

Hostel Kobarid

Without a doubt the most luxurious hostel I will ever stay at.
Kobarid
4. elokuuta 2022, Slovenia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
Wow Kobarid is an incredibly beautiful place; England just doesn't compare. It's hard to believe that 12 battles took place here in 29 months during World War One, as well as the town hosting the siteLue lisää

After an uncomfortable night with illness, I made my way to a pharmacy and popped some pills this morning. My day had hardly got started when I stepped out onto the trail and was quickly reminded ofLue lisää
Trnovo ob Soci
5. elokuuta 2022, Slovenia ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Truth be told, I didn't quite go into Trnovo, I just needed a name for this footprint. I've been following the Juliana trail today, which undulates along the banks of the Soca for its entirety. It'sLue lisää
Srpenica

The weather finally broke! And thank goodness too, it was great to feel the pitter patter of grey matter (that is a brilliant jokette). But seriously, from all the countries I've visited lately, youLue lisää
Bovec
6. elokuuta 2022, Slovenia ⋅ 🌧 20 °C
Much of today was spent in Bovec (pronounced Bovetz). It was nice to have a relaxed day and only cough up mild quantities of phlegm. I even then got back in time to see the mighty Bournemouth win theLue lisää
Soca
7. elokuuta 2022, Slovenia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Soca is just a dispersed settlement throughout this particular valley, but it feels like a good name to whack down a footprint from this morning, which has been so good! It's so so much easier hikingLue lisää
