4/5
I had an absolutely amazing time on this trip. Windy was great, and so was everyone in the group. I would happily go on another trip with Windy and highly recommend her as a trip leader! The reason I have knocked off a star is because we ended up leaving several hours late on the first day due to a hiccup (which, maybe, could have been addressed/prevented the day before). This meant that we were not able to visit one of the sites and do one of the activities (swimming in natural thermal springs) that I had been really looking forward to.

We will meet up at the point of Pick up: Gemona at 08:30 or Villach at 10:30 in the morning. Get to know each other while we head to our first stop lake Laghi di Fusine (Fusine Lakes) are two lakes of glacial origin in the Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, very close to the borders of Austria and Slovenia. 🔰Do let me know if you need to find a train or bus connection to Tarvisio or Gemona, as they often do not sell the ticket online but directly from the train staff!
