Une baignade pittoresque
Finalement, ce n'est pas une rutilante Volks Polo mais plutôt une Opel Corsa qui sera notre bébé pour les deux prochaines semaines. Après un départ chancelant - quelques difficultés à trouver le reculons lol - nous avons mis le cap sur Bled, ...
Ljubljana means "beloved"
Okay...let's start with a couple of housekeeping items: we have a couple of photos from Venice that we need to get out of the way...we took a gondola ride and Kevin stayed dry and out of the canal (though to be honest, there was a close call as he ...
Pred odhodom
Zadnjo noč pred odhodom proti Indoneziji bova preživela pri Žanu doma. Jutri ob 12ih spakiramo v avto in gremo proti Benetkam. Peljal naju bo Veni (mimogrede-hvala!), spremljala pa naju bo še Nataša. Zvečer imava let iz ...

In the morning we are visited by a man who explained that the camping is not here but just behind the corner. So we go there to use the electricity for the laptop and our camera. We are meeting a lovely French couple who is on the way to Hungary to ...
Another Cloudy Mountain Day
I remember the "Sound of Music" opening with Maria running through the Alps, basking in sunshine. I'm pretty sure that was shot on a sound stage. During this trip I've been in the Swiss, Austrian, and Slovenian Alps, and haven't seen the sun even peaking ...
Market day in Ljubljana

A bit of peace and quiet
The bus has me in Bled by 11:25am, with the campervan Kiwis no doubt still snoring away back in La-jooble-jana. I had made reservations at the Bled youth hostel for last night and tonight but obviously hadn't arrived yesterday and it had not occurred to ...

Tongue tied Ljubljana
... directions - especially if you look towards the west you can see the start of the Alps. The added bonus is that Slovenia is dirt cheap, the people are friendly and it is such a relaxed place. I wouldn't mind returning on a snowboarding holiday ...

Raves for the Caves
... I had two stops planned in the Karst Plateau. The Karst is an area of limestone that has tendrils through out much of Slovenia. The limestone is particularly conducive to the formation of caves, which means the cave theme for the day shouldn't have been ...
National Day
... , unlike Croatia, Slovenia did not have a sizable Serbian population, so there weren't significant ethnic issues involved with Slovenia separating. Other than a few stores being closed early, I haven't noticed anything special. My destination for today ...
