View of the stunning
aquamarine
Soca River. Easy cycling as
we followed the narrow
Soca Valley alongside the river
as it glides through the Triglav National Park. During WWI,
the site of the infamous Soca Front claimed an estimated 1 million
lives (Immortalised by Ernest Hemingway in "A Farewell to Arms"), but now it
's fame is due to the spectacular river rafting. |

the names of all the surrounding mountains.

At
the peak of Vrsis Pass - the 1611m high Vrsic pass is the highest pass of Slovenia. |
Pausing
on the downhill of Vrsis pass - before tackling yet another
cobblestone bend.

On the Radovna cycle route
- a continuous journey via stunning valley after stunning valley.

style downhills. |
Always glad to see a sign letting us know which
country we're in when we've already been in it for 2 weeks. |

Bled is surrounded by 1000-2000 m high mountains. It boasts a castle
on a rock next to the lake and a calm, atmospheric chapel on an island in
the lake which can be visited by rowing boat or gondola. |

Passport Magazine whilst we were in Moscow and you can read the
