OK, everyone has finished on the computer now.
Disclaimer: I´m now extremely tipsy, a pound a pint…
OK, Got up at 7:15am local time in Venice. Got a bus boat (still our 24 hour pass) to ther train station to get in a very nice cabin with aircon and adjustable seats. So far we have travelled by car, shuttle bus, plane, coach and boat with lots of walking, but this is our first train!
Now off to Ljubljana in Solvinia.

Arried in Slovenia slightly late and put our baggage in a single locker for E2. Then we started exploring. We found an Iranian restarurant and had a three course meal and Turkish coffee for about 4 pound each!!! Another great find from the Lonely Planet guide! The restaurant owner was chuffed to find out he was mentioned in the guide and showed the entry to all his staff!
We then went on to find the castle on top of a hill where the views are fantastic!
Ljubjana is beautiful in general and I don´t really understand why more people don´t come here. The views are breath-taking and the people are friendly and boy are things cheap. We spoke to a Computer Science student who goes to the University here and he said that only students visit this city.
We´re now sat in the grooviest youth hostel ever, it´s a converted prison but it´ś very posh. Oh and the computer uses Mandrake Linux!!!!
Lots of love from Slovenia xxx
(I love this place).
