Swimming and slowing down in the Soča Valley

It’s not often that you get to tell people that you enjoy a good slap, yet for the last week I’ve experienced a fair few.
Before we go any further, slap is the Slovenian word for a waterfall (sorry to disappoint) something of which there have been many these last days.

Brexit, Buses and Breweries: Trieste to Slovenia

I’m going to start with just 2 words, Bloody Brexit.
Please treat both of the above as swear words from now on as Brexit is the reason I’ve just spent 13 hot and sweaty hours on an overnight bus to travel across France to Italy.
Some may prefer this option to cycling over the mountain ranges between the 2 countries but I would have happily chosen to ride it if it weren’t for Brexit.
