From August 29th until September 22nd, Julie and I will be visiting a new part of the world for us.  We have an adventure planned in the countries of Slovenia and Croatia, two of the six countries that make up the former country of Yugoslavia.

The first part of the trip will be a hiking tour in the Julian Alps of Slovenia.  It is a self-guided tour in which we are provided with a very good map app on our phones and will hike from town to town.  The hikes vary from 8 to 12 miles each day and we have been promised provide beautiful countryside, amazing views and overnights in charming towns.

Here is the itinerary:

After that, we will drive to the world famous Plivice Lakes National Park in Croatia to view the beautiful lakes and waterfalls.  Next, we head to the beach for a few day's vacation from our vacation.  After that, we head to Split and begin our bike and boat tour to Dubrovnik in Croatia.  The islands are reported to be stunningly beautiful.  Everyday, we will do a short (less than 30 mile) ebike ride.

Here is the planned itinerary:

At the end of the week long tour, we plan on staying in Dubrovnik and doing daytours to Kotor in Montenegro and Mostar in Boznia-Hertzogovina.

It should be a grand adventure.  I am not sure about the internet or phone service, but I will plan to post a couple of pictures each day so that anyone interested can follow along.
