We arrived early and it was SOOOO HOT! We caught the bus into town<br>and were dying. Everyone says its really pretty here and it was, but to<br>be honest its not a great as we thought. Maybe we are spoilt but it<br>just looked like any other european city. We made the mistake for<br>stopping for coffee in the sun. I've never drunk coffee so fast in my<br>life to escape the heat. We took the ...

24th June - Ljubljana to Zagreb (Croatia)<br><br>Stil raining this morning although we did notice it stopped typically in the middle of the night. We spent some time on skype calling the families before heading out in search of a cooked breakfast, Cesca was dreaming about scrambled eggs on toast. Unfortunately, Sloveinians don't seem to eat - every cafe seemed to serve only coffee and alcohol. We settled (after a long search) for a bakery and had unhealthy ...

... the world. Its small old town doesn't have a lot of tourist attractions, but has a good open area market and street side cafés. So, after a morning of checking out the sights (the usually suspects: castle, cathedral, bridge, square), I shared a relaxing lunch with a group of sparrows, some of which even ate from my palms, and then went to the National Gallery in the afternoon, before meeting up with a guy whom I met in the train for a ...

... time to catch my train, so I better head to the train station. At the train station, I ran in to a couple of American boys serving a mission for their church, so I thought I would chat with them while waiting for the train. It was a treat to them to speak with someone from home they said. Happy to oblige. They were heading to Zagreb as well, so we made the journey together.

... fascinated by..) but the views were worth the trip to the castle. we then made our way to the train station, pastry and bread roll in hand. we took the train to bled, slovenia, arriving at 7pm. we looked for a taxi or bus to take us the 2.5 miles to the city of bled, as our books had promised, and there was nothing... we started to walk, finding the road to look a lot like the highway you take to tahoe around the windy ...

... a far smaller room without all the amenities, probably due to Johns drunkenness the previous night! Across the street from the hostel we had noticed an intriguing fast food restaurant called "Red Hot Horse". After the amount of drinking last night it didn't sound too appealing but we thought it was worth a try. We knew it was a mistake after they fished one of last nights burgers from a bucket of murky, lukewarm water, probably contravening all health and safety ...

... we went back up to the castle to have a really lovely picnic in the grounds and to watch an open air movie in teh castle grounds which was wicked. It was part of their summer cultural festival which pretty much all european towns host over july and august. On our second day we were attempting to be more adventurous and explore the city some more so we hired bikes but of course 10 minutes into our ride it ...

March feels like it is never going to end. But once it does, time is going to fly. This has been a long month with nothing to break it up. Work is monotounous and stressful, and traveling has been minimal in an attempt to save money for the summer. Annie and I went on a small trip to Ljubljana, Slovenia. It was a lovely trip and completely stress-free. The train ride was beautiful- straight through the Austrian Alps and into Slovenia. We ...

Woke up to ******* down rain again and decided we should move on. We still couldn't get in contact with Pers, so we went into the nearby town to do some internetting, then bought some whole fresh trout that had been caught in the Lake Bohinj, for just five euros a kilo. In the afternoon we attempted to drive through the mountains to the town of Bovec, but halfway ...
