Smells like - winter ?!!

The winter had us by (a bit of a) surprise this year round. The common 'cold-fronts' of the year seemed to have surpassed this part of Europe thus far, leaving us with unusually high temperatures, high humidity, rain... and the notorious 'swine flu', hmmm?!

As we were planing for our coasy family holiday break-away, we were planning to pack just our swimming trunks and perhaps a pair of ski's - just in case. When Tadej told us of the high amounts of frozen waterfalls forming around the area of Bovec, I was already determend to expand my packing list (just ;) a little bit.

What we arrived to see were amazingly low temperatures, wind and cloudy fog, that gave way to only one day of fine, sunny weather.

We used that one to show our little-ones the endless beauties of this amazing valley... and all the other ones for some warming up... and surprizingly also some first years ascents in the areas numerous frzen waterfalls.


It was a superb week, that changed the single minute we started packing for our departure.
A pretty interesting START never-the-less.

ALL the BEST in 2010, everybody !!   ; )
