As we let others stay in the room we waited until they were up and gone before getting up, still made it up for breakfast tho (see photo as evidence). The first night it was a Turk from Manchester and a Brit from London. The Turk did his naked exercises in the morning with lots of moans and grunts (no photo of this you just have to believe me, it wasn't pretty). Today we visited a castle. Ljubljana castle is situated on one side of the river up a hill (nice spot for a castle, may come across other good situations throughout our travels). Cost 1000 SIT for a walk up a tower. There was a restaurant and a monk selling wine. Not bad view tho. ... read more

There is just two of us this time, usually three, four or five, but others couldn't make it.

I was reluctant but you only live once and always get the mickey taken for never eaten an orange before ( which is not true, donuts yes). So lets get started with day 1.

No tanks so far.... read more

I arrived there via a night train from Austria, found a private room, and then enjoyed perhaps the longest sleep of my life - about 15 hours. So all I remember of the city is that it was young, optimistic, and seemed to really love ice cream.... read more

4 DE JULIO DE 2001 Queridos amigos: Por fin he podido ponerme a escribir esta historia que, como habrán notado en el título, incorpora una nueva variante: las historias ya no son sólo sobre lugares y su gente en abstracto, sino también sobre personas de carne y hueso. En ese sentido, el del contacto, éste es el viaje más enriquecedor que he hecho hasta ahora. Y me es útil para volver a valorar su importancia: en cierta forma, no es posible conocer un lugar sin conocer la gente que lo habita y que lo interpreta desde lo íntimo día a día. Pero antes de iniciar, les platicaré de una persona que no pertenece a los sitios que visité, pero cuya ingenuidad y torpeza son tan grandes que le merecen el dudoso honor de abrir el texto ... read more
