Slovenia

Had a fantastic 10 days in Slovenia. The weather was superb, not a drop of rain and sun, sun, sun, every day. Although, it was a bit too hot some days. The house was lovely, all recently renovated and high up in the hills in a little village near lake Bohinj. We’ve been boating, hiking, visiting Caves, castles and swimming in the lakes at Bohinj and Bled and even chilled out a bit.

First evening at the house in Koprivnik (with buddies!)

We also visited the Škocjan Cave System which is just amazing. The highlight of which is an underground cavern called Martels Chamber which is 308 meters long, 89 meters wide and 106 meters high. We werent allowed to take pictures on the tour but I have found this one

The tour ends through the main entrance of the Caves into beautiful gorge which looks so prehistoric and magical you can imaging pterodactyls swooping overhead.
