Slovenia: Hike to Ljubelj Pass and Local Football Match

In the morning I used a spare hour for a hike to Ljubelj Pass. Winter conditions were waiting for me, so I kept moving and just turned back at the top. At noon Nada took me to a football place in our village, where I attended the game between locals, oldies vs. young ones. The age limit was set to 30, and since the group that had me lost, the young ones won. Final score, 9:6. We continued with the free picnic.

Winter is coming.

Arrived to Ljubelj Pass - Garmin Connect.

Yearly football match between young and old ones.

Slovenia: ŠD Podljubelj trip to Bovec, Day 2

After the evening (15100) spend with girls and boys of ŠD Podljubelj, more exciting day was in front of us. We started with rafting on river Soča, continued with lunch, then some decided to go on monster rollers, while Rok and me went paragliding. We all ended the day in the camp, playing "Štrbunk", barbecuing and playing volleyball.
