29/08/2011 Day 20. Swiss National Park. Set off this morning from Slovenia, heading towards Switzerland. Nick started the drive and we swapped in Austria near Innsbruck. I drove over the border into Switzerland and went down some crazy mountainside roads into Switzerland. Thin roads made me a bit twitchy at some points, we arrived safely though at the campsite around 1.30. The sun was out and it looked great, we are in a valley between a few mountains. We heard ...

28/08/2011 Day 19. Fuscha, Hohe Tauten National Park. Early start again this morning and we set off for Austria. We arrived around 12 so we made good time. We were aiming to get up a mountain and see a glacier, so we headed to a tourist information point to see if there were any buses up there. It was closed but they left the foyer open that had all the maps and leaflets in. We found that it was one road from the campsite up to the top of the mountain so we took...

27/08/2011 Day 18. Bohinj Bistrica Today I woke up the coldest of the trip. My feet felt like they were going to fall off! We got ready and headed for the early bus into Bled at 8.56. We arrived at Lake Bled about half an hour after. As we were walking around we stumbled across a sign advertising the world rowing championships were starting this weekend! What a coincidence, first the red bull air race now this. We first went to hire a rowing boat for an hour on ...

26/08/2011 Day 17. Skocjanske jame and Bohinj camp site. Early start this morning, we were up at 6 and ready for a 7am kick off. We had a 7 hour drive in front of us. It got to 9.30 and we saw the temperature in Croatia was 33.4 degrees already. It was hot n sweaty in the back, oh yes. We arrived at the caves, skocjanske, at about 1.45. It was sweaty outside too! We waited for about 15 minutes and a man shouted saying that we were setting off to the caves for th...

25/08/2011 Day 16. Split Day 2 Woke up this morning at half 9 with a huge sweat on! It's wa boiling already. The lads had arrived back while I was asleep but I had a text from Dave saying he was lost but he found his way back. I got out of the van just so I could cool down and everyone else followed shortly. We headed to the beach! A dip in the sea would surely (I was going to write shorely, rubbish joke) sort us out. I entered the water with a cheeky back flip ...
