What was really good about the museum was that all the displays had explanations in 4 languages including English, so we could really understand what the exhibitions were all about. The massive battle here in Kobarid was between the Italians and the Austria/Hungarians and was fought in the mountains, it must have been incredibly tough on both sides especially during the bitterly cold winters.
By the end of the war neither side had won the battle, what a terrible waste of so many young lives.
After lunch we decided to try some local food - goulash with dumplings, which was delicious and very filling.
Sitting in the restaurant it was surprising that the Slovenians speak to each other in Slovenian and English, switching easily between the two languages, I can't say I have ever heard that in any of the countries we have visited. We certainly haven't had any language problems because everyone speaks English so well.
We needed to walk off the lunch so we wandered along the river again before heading back to the campsite for a cup of tea.
Tomorrow we leave for Croatia and the island of Krk, the next campsite doesn't have free wifi so it might be a few days before I'm back blogging again, but I'll be back just as soon as I can!
