As you already know, we spent the last week of our vacation in Slovenia. It's a tiny country and you can see a different landscape and climate types in a small area. Nature there is wild and amazing.

In today's post, I'll show you the northwestern mountainous part of Slovenia.

In commercials, we like to call it On the sunny side of the Alps.

After all day hiking, we needed to replenish our dehydrated bodies with some fresh electrolytes. The bottle of the famous brand of Slovenian beer was more than capable of doing that.

Well, if I want to be honest, just one bottle was not quite enough.

Cheers, my friends.
