Adventures in Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Slovenia, Austria and Germany (and old adventures in Thailand, Jordan, Egypt, Dubai and Japan). Thursday, July 7, 2011. From Slovenia to Austria. Our last day in Slovenia saw us heading through the Soca (So-cha) River Valley and over Vrsic (Vur-sheech) Pass. We got out of Bohinj via a car train which was really cool though a little freaky! Waiting for the train to leave the platform - not a big barrier between you and off the train! Vintgar Gorge was...

Adventures in Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Slovenia, Austria and Germany (and old adventures in Thailand, Jordan, Egypt, Dubai and Japan). Wednesday, June 22, 2011. The Adriatic - Peljesac Peninsula, Korcula and Split. We even got to try some – a white from Peljesac and a red from the town of Smokvica (Smok-veet-sa) on Korcula. The red was very nice but the white was a bit too sweet. Can’t remember the grape varieties but neither were ones we’d heard before! The town of Ston. The next full da...

Adventures in Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Slovenia, Austria and Germany (and old adventures in Thailand, Jordan, Egypt, Dubai and Japan). Thursday, November 26, 2009.

We appreciated it more later on, as we didn`t have very good weather in Miya-jima. Early ...
