Plan je bil biti brez plana
... a ne bo šlo čisto tako enostavno, kot sva si zamišljala. Vize malce otežujejo zadeve, saj zahtevajo nekaj načrtovanja in vnaprejšnjega računanja vsaj kdaj približno boš kje. Seveda pa daleč od tega, ...
Ljubljana Laundry
... Others are dirty, loud, and annoying, you just have to be a bit choosy I guess and get recommendations. We are now in Slovenia. The countryside is quite lovely. As we took the train ride in I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the many colors of the trees ...
Graz / Maribor
Hostel was great. A little bit too expensive though. We payed 21 euro for a night for one person only because had a valid card for cheaper hostels. A safe room for bicycle or any equipment was available. People are extremly helpful. We havent found ...
Bled to the Rescue
I hate to admit it, but I was starting to get a little down on Slovenia. I mean, I loved Ljubljana, with the Plečnik and Art Nouveau architecture, and the ballet was definitely memorable, but the various small towns I'd spent the past few days ...
Whistlestop Tour of Maribor
... of world leaders and what not built into it. So we didn't really get to see that much of Maribor, or probably the best of Slovenia for that matter. It would have been nice to get over to Lake Bled and Ljubljana, but no time, no time. Farewell to ...
Loving Ljubljana
The sun did not wake us up this morning. A light drizzle was going on and that was a good enough reason to stay in bed a little longer. We had toast, coffee and juice for breakfast and then finished doing some things online before getting ...
Just Like being at home
Well woke up to torrential rain and it looked just like the lake district cold and damp we did try and manage to go out for a little while as we needed to get some laundry sorted and stuff but it was just to wet. We managed to get to use the ...
Blind, gilled salamanders and Chinese tourists!
... celebrities in China. We drove the last ten kilometers to our guest house that I booked the night before. Lonely Planet called Slovenia the greenest country in the world, and I would have believed it after this drive through the countryside. But we ...
Ljubljana
Dear Blog, Today we took a 4 hour train ride from Venice to Ljubljana just over the border in Slovenia. we arrived at around 8pm and checked into out Hostel which was once a Prison. Yes quite creepy but they have set up the bulding very nicely. The old ...
Cerca del mar por fin
En nuestro paso a Koper incluimos una parada en Divača para ver la increible cueva Skocjan. El paseo es guiado pues te perderias dentro! Un puente cruza de un lado a otro de la cueva y un rio corre muy muy al fondo. Teniamos muchas ganas de ...
Fotke
Pozdrav! Koncno sva prebolela posledice casovne razlike in na internet vrgla nekaj fotografij iz najinega potepanja. Najdete jih na naslednjih linkih. Če vas zanima, si jih oglejte cimprej, saj za prostor nisva plačala, tako da je cas ...
quick trip up north
... we go north first, train, bus,....it was sooooo hard to make up our minds. Finally we just thought to go ahead and go to Slovenia. We hung out in Trieste a little before we had to get the bus and then only had to sit a few hours to get to ...
Kamnik
We did a daytrip from Ljubljana to Kamnick, a small country town nestled between the Julian Alps. See photos ...
Fairytale Country
... controls, and we had also foolishly mistimed our Slovenia trip as it coinceded with thousands of Croatian football fans driving through Slovenia to Austria for their Euro 2008 fixture with Germany. So we got stuck in alot of traffic and were caught in a ...
Ljubljana
... just to visit museums and cultural sites, take photos of buildings and eat new foods. When we come off the train in Slovenia's capital Ljubljana we wave goodbye to our new train buddy who we have learnt is Bosnian, travelling from Innsbruk, where he ...
The Lakes, Portoroz and the Slovenian Alps
By nightfall we arrive at Jesenice, right out there under the Alps. It was and I believe it still is a border ...
Beautiful Bohinj
... top of Mt Vogel, tallest peak in Slovenia, would be worth it...but it certainly made the drive pretty. The nice thing about Slovenia is that it is just picture postcard perfect, but without being twee or contrived. It's not trying too hard, it just ...
National Park Plitvice
Facinating! A cascade of lakes, which are connected by waterfalls in the carst mountains. Nice hiking trails. ...
Off again, where I'll land nobody knows
This place reminds me a log of Seattle and for the first time I'd be ok coming back now. But, here I go again, first to Venezia then maybe Nice on my way to Spain. They don't have a cat at every table here and I sort of miss them. Italy and ...
Ljubljana and Lake Bled
Hi guys, well it was smooth sailing from Venice to Slovenia`s Capital Ljubljana were i arrived about 8pm and got a free hostel pick up. It is my second time in Slovenia, the 1st visit was about 5 weeks previously where i shared a dorm with an Auzi guy. We ...
wet wet wet...
... stop at Kanal. I think Dads intention is just to have a relaxing break away from the UK and take in the area, driving through Slovenia was really enjoyable and it was a reminder of how lucky we were seeing things in a light we had probably started to take ...
Another gorgeous castle on a lake
... we had to walk about 5 kilometers to get to the lake! Good thing it was a beautiful day and the scenery was amazing. Slovenia is very mountainous, and the Slovenian Alps are the most impressive peaks we have seen thus far. There were tons of flowers in ...
"Loo-bli-ana" it's easy!
The capital of Slovenia has a small old town and feels comfortable immediately. So much so in fact that I decide that I'm long overdue for a haircut and this can be the location of my first "trip trim". The 2 young guys in the ...
Slovenia. The Hidden Gem of Europe!
... Italians. In fact, it looks as if they took a classy Italian town and placed it in the middle of Wisconsin. That's right, Slovenia, you're like home to me. Right down to your chandelier that illuminates the main square, and your dragon statues along ...
In the quest for some peace and quiet
Guest blogger Dave again. I am trying to show Lil that blogging is fun! So it is 4 AM here and I have been typing at the computer forever. What's fun got to with it? This morning we bid farewell to the BIT Center Fitness Center and ...
Slovenia - Lake Bled :)
... River. We came away cold, wet and with broad smiles. On our final day, we traveled to the nearby Lake Bohinj. Bohinj is Slovenia’s largest natural lake. We found it to be crystal clear and just as beautiful as Lake Bled. Bohinj is home to a large ...
A Series of Fortunate Events, Part 1
... of an occasional series about random events conspiring to me doing lots of ridiculous things. But we shall see. Anyway, I arrived in Slovenia a bit disappointed to leave Croatia. The blow was softened when I met a group of 3 Australians in the station, ...
Captain Zig-Zag strikes again
... train ride over to Hungary with 5 ticket checks, and am writing this entry from Budapest. The final thing I will say about Slovenia is that their people are like no other former Yugoslavian people I have met. They even outshine the Croats when it comes ...
