Ja, Dobro!!!👍 Bravissima! Ce tanto da vedere in queste zone di frontiera! ♥️🍾🥂🌞 Mandi. Nasvidanje! 🙋♀️🎶🇻🇪
La cosa bella oltre ovviamente alla bellissima Slovenia ...è quando ai affrontato il mega panino..Fantastico ok beautiful Slovenia!!🌹🤗
L'hamburger più grande mai visto
What a beautiful country!!! I want to go there!!
Maybe an idea for next vacations...? ;)
I have never seen this beautiful, special place. Slovenia is magnificent...the mountains, the clearest, bluest water I've ever seen! My dream is to visit one day. Thank you, MJ for sharing this road trip and looking forward to see more.
My pleasure Judith!
Thank you, you are wellome to my country
Hi Mary Jane, thank you for showing the Isonzo River, the Eastern part of Friuli and Slovenia! I grew up in Gorizia and we do feel very close to Slovenian traditions and people! ❤️ There is also a slogan that says "go borderless" and refers to the tight collaboration between Gorizia and Nova Goriza to promote this area and connect people. ❤️
Ciao Giulia, so glad to read your comment! I've heard indeed that Gorizia and Nova Gorica are working tight together for the European city of culture, that's great to hear 😊
Gulia, thanks for your comment. I have beautiful memories to Gorizia. When I was young we were going to shoping there with my parents in middle of 1970 and over 1980's
Mogoce, ko nam vrnete Gorico in Trst
@@WhatashameMaryJane when video was recorded??
Beautiful part of the world. I think i need to add this to the growing list of places i want to visit.
The scenery is spectacular.
Wow.... beautiful place Mary Jane, amazing 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Absolutely gorgeous! 👍🏻 I desperately need a vacation. Thank you for sharing 🤙🏻
I wish you to have one very soon.
A pure beauty.
Very beautiful 🙃
Absolutely stunning! Gorgeous territory. I'd like to go there myself someday.
I wish you to do it Brian, it's a very simple territory with good people and great natural resources :)
@@WhatashameMaryJane Someday I will and bring my easel and do some paintings there on location. 😊
Wow, this was so interesting. I've seen little wikipedia type photos of Slovenia, but never really grasped what it was like. It looks so beautiful and clean. I really enjoy these family trip videos and like the variety of scenes and the music. Very reassuring and peaceful, just what the doctor ordered. I like the calmness of you, your dad, and family. Grazie!
Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep making them 😊
Bellissimo, poi l'immagine del capriolo nel bosco é stupefacente ed incredibilmente simile alla copertina di " Manafon" un CD di David Sylvian!! Brava.
Beautiful I made my to Tolmino in Slovenia. The colour of the river reminds of the tagliamento. Ice cold waters from the mountains
bellissimo video grazie
A beautiful tour MJ. Wonderful scenery. Thanks for introducing me to a part of the world I've never seen.
You Italians sure do drive fast in those mountains! (joking)
Based on what I've seen in the US so far, yes we do 😅
Can't wait for part two.
FVG is my dream place to retire. We have family in beautiful Slovenia and love the warmth of goriziani, triestini and friulani.
I think we'll be in good company.
Siamo argentini (moglie arg/slovena) e per ora abitiamo a Miami.
Tanti auguri e complimenti per il canale Mary Jane. Sei bravissima.
Gabe.
Ciao Gabe! Thank you! Greetings to Miami 😊👋
Nice video, greetings
Beautiful video of our country…btw I visited Udine last week, an saw your video with Ariel…very nice!
You visited where from?
@@WhatashameMaryJane Iam from Slovenia...actually we have crossed the border at North (Fusine Laghi) and than via highway to Udine. One day trip, nice drink at the main square. However I ll keep watching your videos. Stay cool!
My home❤tnx for video
You're lucky :)
Great video! My partner and I will be there and Croatia in September (Covid permitting) and I'm excited to do that drive myself.
Have fun!
Bellissimo video: due mondi completamente diversi qua in Sardegna si toccano temperature questi giorni prossime a 45 47 gradi C. Ghiaccio e neve pura fantascienza. In compenso il mare e' straordinario. A dir bello e' poco. Tanti auguri Mary buone vacanze.
Bella immagine questo confronto. La scorse settimana nelle stesse zone di questo video ha piovuto ogni giorno e abbiamo acceso le stufe a legna per scaldarci.
Mamma mia, che paesaggi!!! Sono siciliana e non conosco bene le zone dell’estremo nord Italia, ma da tanto tempo vorrei andare a vedere le zone in cui si sono combattute le guerre mondiali (il fiume Isonzo ad esempio).
È incoraggiante vedere come quei luoghi si siano ripresi dopo le distruzioni di cui sono stati testimoni e siano divenuti nuovamente belli. Grazie per il video! Spero di poter visitare presto il Friuli e la Slovenia! :)
Ciao Ella! Io invece ho visitato la tua meravigliosa Sicilia un paio di volte e l’ho adorata!
Se ti interessano luoghi della Grande Guerra (anche della Seconda) dovresti proprio venire in Friuli. Ci sino molti itinerari che si possono percorrere sia in auto che a piedi per visitare le tracce e i reperti storici. Ne abbiamo davvero molti e gli Alpini stanno facendo un ottimo lavoro nel ripulirli, recuperarli e renderli fruibili al pubblico!
Ella, in Kobarid is super museum of WWI and especially Soča/ Isonzo front.
Un'idea buonissima per un viaggio!!!! Ci vado in giovedì per vedere il mio amico chi mi prende da Milano! Ho sentito tante cose a la bellezza di questa paese! No vedo l'ora e grazie per i raccomandazioni MJ!
An amazing idea for a trip!!!! I'm going there on Thursday to see my friend who will pick me up from Milan! I heard a lot of things about the beauty of this country! I can't wait to see it and thank you for the recommendations Mary Jane!
That's great! I didn't know you were still here, good for you! How long are you staying?
@@WhatashameMaryJane Io sono in Italia fino a 23 di agosto.
I'm in Italy until August 23rd.
She looks amazing. You're thumbnail gave me an arousal.😍
*Glad* you made an incursion into Slovenia.
1:47 Perhaps, your father would like hiking up Mt. Triglav,Triglav National Park, while you and your sister visit Lakes Bled and Bohinj time permitting ... 😁
Enjoy
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Another well done "mini-documentary", Mary Jane. Interestingly, few people realize that the Alps are distributed over 8 countries, from France to Slovenia. Also less known, is that fully half of the chain by area lies completely within Italy, including the shared summits of Mt. Blanc (with France) and The Matterhorn (with Switzerland).
Yes I get the feeling that people internationally think that Alps = Switzerland and some even get a bit surprised when I talk about my home in Italy and the Alps in the same sentence 🤷♀️
@@WhatashameMaryJane Agreed - - perhaps Italy gets less association with the Alps specifically because it has so many other attractions, both historic and scenic, that command attention. Anyway, great video - - keep them coming.
Nice
Che bel tono di voce oggi! E' veramente piacevole da ascoltare.
Ahah la voce fuori campo intendi? Grazie.
Hi Mary! I'm in Friuli this week! I'm travelling around and visiting many different places...and wineries 😁..until now, amazing people and amazing wines! MITICI FRIULANI. Dite continuamente che siete gente chiusa...ma io finora vi ho trovati davvero super friendly e disponibili. Basta partire col piede giusto e non negate un sorriso a nessuno... my two cents
Mi fa proprio piacere sentirlo, benvenuto in Friuli Franco!!
@@WhatashameMaryJane con tutte le cantine strepitose che ho visitato, ho già buttato il fegato nella differenziata... 😁
L'Isonzo, il mio fiume. Kobarid, Caporetto per chi non sa e magari la storia non la conosce.
I just subscribed ☺
Hi Lizzie, welcome to the channel! 🙂
👌💙
good mix of travelogue and some personal documentary. Beautiful area. Is the whole border with Slovenia like that??
To the South it's less mountainous. Thanks!
Usti é una vita che non vedo queste strade. Grazie
Era in un chiosco in centro a Bovec, non so se è ancora là o se era temporaneo.
Io non faccio mai bagni freddi quindi non sono esperta, qui era giugno ed era ancora molto freddo. A naso secondo me l'Isonzo in quelle zone resta piuttosto freddo tutta l'estate, ma sono sicura che farci un bagno di qualche minuto è fattibile. Più che altro è difficile trovare un punto adatto perché quando l'acqua è abbastanza alta tende ad avere correnti molto violente.
Hello! If you like it, come to Hungary :) I will be happy to present you the gastronomic and nature conservation values of Lake Balaton and its surroundings :) A very good holiday in Europe :)
💛💚❤👍
Bevo Lasko finché casco👏
👍
... questo è l'Isonzo e qui meglio mi sono riconosciuto una docile fibra dell'universo... (G.Ungaretti, i fiumi)
Bellissimi posti, meritano un sacco.
Devo andare in Slovenia tra pochi giorni, dove posso trovare quell'enorme panino?😁
E l'Isonzo è troppo freddo per farci il bagno vero?
Era in un chiosco in centro a Bovec.
Non faccio mai bagni freddi quindi non sono la persona giusta per chiederlo. L'ho provato sia in giugno che in luglio ed era sempre molto freddo. Non credo che l'Isonzo sia il fiume perfetto per farci il bagno, ma comunque una rinfrescata veloce ce la si fa. Attenzione alle correnti, che sono sempre molto forti lì, in tutti i punti.
@@WhatashameMaryJane Certo si andrebbe comunque nell'acqua bassa. Grazie per la risposta gentilissima
Very nice trip and beautiful nature... (good lunch - ćevapi with ajvar). Visit Croatia, its not far from Slovenia.
I've been to Croatia many many times. Also when we were kids we would always come to Croatia for vacation. I'll eventually go back to visit one day :)
@@WhatashameMaryJane Too bad, I was just hoping for a video, at least from Istria if not further south, while you're still here in Europe. But well, I guess there will be other opportunities, the new world is slowly calling. I know it will be hard to say goodbye to family again and go across the ocean. but you are an adventurer and love to see the world, it is stronger than you. One poet (Balašević) says that there is a date of birth and death on the tombstones and that small line between them. That little dash in between is life and you decided to make it fill with as much content as possible. We look forward to watching your footage and adventures. I recommend watching the series: "La casa de papel" or how the Americans translated "Money Heist". I watched it in the original Spanish with subtitles, because it is much better than the English dubbing that also exists. The lead actress reminds me a little of you even though she’s brunette.
Le acque cristalline dell'isonzo a kobarid...
Mmmm,mmm,mmmm,mmm 😛😛🤤😬
Welcome to my playground!
That's exactly in the area you were telling me about, right?
@@WhatashameMaryJane Yes! 100%. Until recently I road that area on a motorcycle regularly, and sometimes across the border into your region. Loving it all! Thanks to the additional exposure to Friuli from your videos I plan to explore it much more. Again, thanks so much for your videos!
@@WhatashameMaryJane Comment from IA I found below......By the way, the descriptive narration was great. You're clearly blessed with eloquence. You should be a writer. I agree with IA! So, Put Writing on your To Do career list!
@@rjo2020 Thank you!!
Hi how great, you more or less visited me, you should have pinged me! :) Thanks for showing the beauty of Slovenia to everyone!
Uh really? Where are you exactly?
@@WhatashameMaryJane Gorenjska :D
Ciao
Bundi ben fate fuarce friullll
Where did you get that insane sandwich ??
Ahahah at a kiosk in Bovec
6:39...SNOW!!! At what elevation were you?
I have no idea, but it was still June. I think it's all melted by now...
This is Vršič pass aprox 1610m
Il fiume " Soccia" è a Bologna
What a BURGER !!!! :-)
I know!!!
Hi Nary Jane! Did you marry your Turkish boyfriend? Is he Islamic?
He is so handsome. I just watched you two in Istanbul. Loved the video!
Hi Ann! Yes I married him, he’s not religious luckily.
Nice places that are former Italian lands as still are.
Former!!!,don't forget this!Proto Slovenians conquered this land the same as Romans did before them,so we have the same right to it,and as we live here and not Italians it is Slovenian.And I assure you that no Slovenian wants to be called Italian!In fact,you Italians showed us your superior culture by burning down our cultural institutions and prohibiting our language some decades ago...and tell me,how come that nature on our side of border is still unspoiled,the streets are clean,buildings taken care of etc. without Italian "help" or "guidance"?And let's not forget that we are settling this land much longer than any of your occupations lasted...
@@JustMe-uc8wj Actually I am Istrian and the Litoral and Coast of Slovenia is is still Italian to its core, historically it had always been as such and history cannot be changed. It become Slovenian only after Jugoslavia dissolved and Italy gently yet didn't reclaim it. Austro hungaric empire did actually start to promote the slavic element in those regions to displace the Italian one that posed a threat to their territorial integrity because of the reunification of Italy. It was Austro Hungarians that imposed slavic or germanic languages , tried to delete the Italian language, culture and deitalianize the region to preserve their foothold into the mediterranean. Also Slovenians never had any actual seat on those areas that were and are still Italian to its core . Slovenia belongs more to the interior areas and never to the coast and the whole area of Litoral was and had always been Italian.Sorry if this is not the history that teached you in school but its actual and factual truth. Oh and I am not proposing anything but I think that Italian exiled heirs should be allowed back to their homes and gain back their lost possessions which is nowday ostracized and opposed by local governments, Italian streets and naming be reinstated and so on. Then we are in EU so for me we can even remove borders and merge the countries.

*Forced Fascist Italianization*
"Forced Fascist Italianization" is the term Wikipedia describes in the 'Slovene Littoral' article used against the Slovenes of that area by the occupying Italian Army and goes on to mention the Treaty of Saint-German and more. Then, there's Trieste.
Your words "... Italy gently yet didn't reclaim it".
The same country that invaded Austria-Hungary in the Twelve Battles of the Isonza(Soca) Valley leading to the death of over a half-million people. The same army that left a friend with scars on her breasts when an Italian soldier walked on her with spiked boots during WWII.
@@naimaware l agree with you about the urban population,no doubt about that,but rural areas have been populated by Slavs for more than a millenium.But my question is about today's situation.in Slovenia some 5000 people declare themselves Italian among let's say 3 to 4 hundred thousand Slovenians in the area.Would you again like to make these hundreds of thousands ltalians??Don't tell me no,l'm watching how ltalian state and especially the right wing is treating those Slovenians that were unfortunate in the afterwar calculations and ended up in ltaly.The attack on Slovenian language and institutions has never ended,except maybe in Gorizia,which has a Slovenian name btw...
