Today was a fun day as we toured around triglav national park. The day was fun, but wasn't quite what we thought we had signed up for, but still enjoyed it! To make a long story short, we thought it was a day of exciting strenuous hikes, rafting and a few other stops at interesting sites, but felt a bit more like gentle walking and a car ride through the park!
We drove up and over the highest mountain pass on a series of 50 hairpin turns. We did a small hike up there, and did a little summer tobogganing. There was still a ton of snow up there, but we were treated to sunshine and 25 degrees! We then visited the source if the soca river and did a little hike there. After a brutal lunch at a restaurant, we went rafting! I was really dreading rafting as I haven't had many good experiences rafting, but I had a great time. They told us conditions were perfect and if the water was any higher, they wouldn't have taken us out! We didn't flip... Thanks goodness but had some great times out on the beautiful turquoise river! We then headed to a beautiful waterfall but no one went in qs it was pretty chilly back there, but the hike to it was pleasant and the falls themself were stunning. Next it was a stop at a bridge 12m high! Mike was the first to go, and then one other girl did it too! To.avoid driving through another narrow mountain pasal the van was loaded on a train and we rode the train through the mountains which was super fun and safe great way to finish the day. After a quick stop at lake bohinj, it was time to head home!
Time for bed now...tomorrow is a long driving day off to ortona. Itaiy!
