Julian Alps

Our host, Albert, in Ljubljana sherpaed us out of the city to the impossible beautiful Lake Bled. Albert told us as we passed one campsite "this used to be the best camping in Yugoslavia, now not even the best in Slovenia." From there we set off into the foothills of the Alps to Kranjska Gora. We spent the night in an abandoned campsite lurking below (what we believe was) the tallest moutain in Slovenia, Mt Triglav. The next morning we climbed steeply to 1611 meters to Vrsic Pass, where there was still some snow. After 175 kilometers we were lost and tired in our destination Sezana, Slovenia. It was getting dark when the Kareem Abdul Jabar of bike touring, Marco, stopped us and helped us find our host, Aleksander. Marco has toured all over the world and extensively in Africa. He told us he was going to Croatia to bike soon but "not with you, with girls." We woke up the next morning to leave the EU and head to Croatia.
