Slovenia When we were planning our trip, Patrick suggested we go to Slovenia. Ashamedly I had to look on a map to find out where it was. What I'm wondering now is how Europe has kept this little gem such a secret. Sure Slovenia is quiet a popular tourist destination, but it's doesn't seem to make many peoples top 5 places they want to go in their lives. It should.

The weather was warm, the sky was cclear - ...

So this trip started with Duncan and I dusting off our bathers, stuffing our backpacks to bursting point and heading off on holidays for..........well who really knows how long......
