My first full day's walk in Slovenia: Nova Gorica to Gorjansko

As my new route will take me far from the sea, Roman, my host in Nova Gorica, took me by car to  the Gulf of Trieste for a swim the evening before I left

Roman with my new Slovenian sign, 'Steps for Peace',  just before I started walking south

Walking the path on the old  border between East and West

In Slovenia, milk dispensers!

A WWI cemetery with a monument for the  Austrio-Hungarian fallen  on one side, and the Italian on the other.  Whether a soldier fought for one or the other sometimes depended on where the lines were.

The mountain I would cross to get to Gorjansko. At the top was a big  sign saying, 'Tito.'
