Tijuana, B.C., a 27 de noviembre del 2008. Saludos. Bueno, finalmente después de 50 y tantos dia de viaje y con 5 kilos menos de peso (revisados con báscula y que todo mundo me lo recuerda cada vez que me saluda desde mi llegada), ya estoy de vuelta por Tijuana despues de un truculento regreso que implicó 2 pernoctadas en Amsterdam y en la Cd. de México, una fila de mas de 3 horas en el Aeropuerto de Amsterdam, una nevada con ropa de verano, un equipaje que llego con un dia de retraso a TJ ... Pero bueno, ya estamos [View Full Entry]

Monday 14th September Blobbing in Bled The weather has turned to custard overnight and after the thunderstorm had passed through last night it had rained a fair amount and it was still raining lightly this morning. It was just as well that we did our walk around Lake Bled and drive to Lake Bohanij yesterday while it was at least dry. The guy who showed us our apartment on Saturday had said that it was predicted to be only 10C today and he was not far out.A quick look at the day encouraged us to stay in bed and watch TV.Of [View Full Entry]

We had checked the weather forecast for Bled last night before we went to bed and it was supposed to rain all day today but we have woken to just an overcast sky and we can still see the Julian Alps that surround the town of Bled.So perhaps the weatherman is going to be wrong again. However we decided not to chance it and got up for a relatively early breakfast so that we could walk around the lake before the expected rain.We think it will probably take us about 2 hours with stops for photos. For the first time in [View Full Entry]

The day has dawned overcast but the prospect for the day is improving weather as we cross the border into Slovenia. Gretchens wasp sting on her elbow from last night has made her arm swell up considerably and from hereon she will be nicknamed "Arnie" after the Governor of California as she could match him for the circumference of her arm at the moment. We had some concerns that we might not have hot water this morning as last night there didn't appear to be any coming through the tap no matter how long we left it running for and neither [View Full Entry]

Bled - day 14-16 - September 5-7 We had the luxury of a private transfer (two cars) to take us to our final stop in Bled, Slovenia. It was a pleasant journey on good freeways. Our driver was a young guy who had a rafting and other adventure sport business, was a taxi/car-hire person, as well as being a policman. Very hard working! We had a long wait in a queue to cross the boarder into Slovenia and back into the Schengen zone. You can see why the removal of border checks is a high priority as it must be costly [View Full Entry]

After 30 min of sleep in Annaberg, at 5:00 we headed to Slovenia. I was pretty tired and sleepy and after 300 km there was a drivers change and then I could slumber a bit. When we arrived in Slovenia I was really really sleepy because it was extremely hot. We arrived on the festival ground and I spent the whole day at the festival hanging around and drinking slovenian beer. In the evening I went to pick up the merch and in the meanwhile 3 of 5 guys from the band drank real turkish absinth. When I came back they [View Full Entry]

I know exactly where I am. Do you know where tiny Slovenia is on a map? The country was a part of Yugoslavia, the most northern region of that ex-country, sandwiched between Austria to the north and Italy to the west. The southern border of Slovenia is now Croatia, and there is a small border with Hungary to the north east. I left Zagreb with one of my hostel room mates who was travelling in the same direction as me this day. We had a real border crossing soon into the two hour train trip, a stamp out of Croatia and [View Full Entry]

So I am here in Ljubljana in a hostel which used to be a prison. Cool as that is, it wasn't an aesthetic choice, more a practical one as it was the closest budget accomodation to the train station, where I have to get a train from at 6.20am tomorrow morning. However I have heard this place waxed out by plenty of backpackers blogging about Ljubljana on here, so I was hoping to be able to see it. The train journeys here were mostly hell, to be honest with you. I was denied buying any food to bring on to me [View Full Entry]

DAY 108 So we are on our way from Split to Ljubljana, Slovenia (Loo be yarna). Francine and Angie thought that they would be really really smart and take the back seat of the bus so that they could stretch out during the night and have a good night's sleep. So we raced to the back seats and were lucky because there were very few people on the bus. Our luck held out until about the 6, 7 stop and then a women and daughter had to sit in the back with us. But people got out a couple a stops [View Full Entry]
