Slovenia day 3

 Last full day in Slovenia! We drove to Ljubljana to do the half marathon. I had previously done a half marathon the week prior with a time of 1:41. Since I had done a hike the day before I was expecting to get a much slower time. However, I was motivated by my desire to beat my American friend so I persevered. I ended up getting the same exact time 1:41. Unfortunately Martin got an even better time of 1:38. I guess I'll have to beat him at the next race. We ended the day with some local Slovenian food and a bike ride around the city. Good day! I feel refreshed enough to get back to work in the Netherlands.

Slovenia day 2

We rented a via Ferrara set and immediately headed out to the start of the mountain to submit Triglav. Lisa damaged her ankle about a month ago so was unable to join us; she stayed in the van and learned German and did other hobbies instead. The hike was incredible. We were in a cloud the entire time so the visibility was limited, but it was still very arduous. It wasn't scary but there were a few narrow ledges which were quite fun. One we got back to the van we ate dinner and drove our way back to Ljubljana to prep for the marathon tomorrow.

Slovenia day 1

Wow it's been a long time since I've written on this blog. So much has happened. So many holidays not recorded, so much about my job at TU/e left untold, my future plans in the Netherlands, and my breakup with Karen. All of that should be probably be written here. But, my blog, my rules.

Day 1

I'm travelling to Slovenia to meet up with Martin and Lisa. We're going to do a via Ferrara hike and a half marathon. I began by flying into Croatia and catching a flixbus from Zagreb to Ljubljana. The reason for this is because it was much cheaper to fly into a neighbouring country - stay classy Europe. I met up with Martin and Lisa in the evening at the bus station and we immediately drove in their campervan to the start of the mountain. We finished the day eating some food and sleeping in the campervan.
