Slovenia - The small country with lots of LOVE 9th July - 17th July 2014

After leaving the the crew in Schladming we headed into the Alps towards Slovenia & checked out the Soča
 Valley. There was a sweet old WW2 bunker system we explored & heaps of old tanks & military vehicles around the boarder


It was a bit rainy but very beautiful & well worth the difficult climbing & hard mountain pass.


We accidentally stumbled across a neat bouldering wall & Joel had a go at a few of the problems



Also liberated some tasty ice cream treats from a well timed dumpster dive















We arrived in Ljubljana & spent a night "stealth camping" in a construction site then met up with the awesome Manca & Renata who hosted us for a couple of days & we had a great time exploring Ljubljana with them & meeting their friends

+ Manca lent me a skateboard & I got to roll on a skatey for the first time in 3 MONTHS! The longest time in my life. I was having massive withdrawals & it tasted real nice to have a cheeky sesh.



Next stop was Kisovec to meet up with Ziggy's luge friend Nina.
We shared a delicious BBQ dinner with her family then took us on a tour of the town & we got to check out the ski jumps & luge starting ramp.


The next morning we set off & she was tempted to join us on her pimping trike.




We headed onto Brežice to meet Robi & the crew @ the "Chill House" & 1st Wake Park.
Not a bad view from Robi's office window


We checked out the Brezice local traditional music concert, Robi played the double bass & it was jazz-tastic



Rad vibes & rad people. Had a sweet time hanging out, wake boarding, jamming & enjoying the chilled vibes of the "Chill House"


Special mention for their "Sticker Wall" (Spesh Ziggy Stickers) & "Time Machine Shower"
