Today we got up early so that we could get to lake Bled and get back in time for the ice hockey match we had bought tickets for. After enjoying another buffet breakfast we made our way to the bus station, although we were unsure as to where it was. I had seen that it was in front of the train station from the map but had no idea where to buy tickets; we went into the train station, I went to the ticket desk and Steph to the information and we both found out that it was the kiosk type thing outside. Joining up again we bought our tickets and also some bread and water for our budget picnic. Once in Bled we walked down to the lake and although the mist partially hid the ... read more

We woke up early however there wasn't a cat in hells chance we were getting through the bathroom so I jumped into Rob's bed to wait. We lay there for about an hour whilst the rude German men, completely oblivious to anyone else took their time showering etc. Eventually there were only a few lingerers so I "politely" explained that I couldn't get dressed with them all hanging around. We dressed quickly but still had to ask to get a chance to go to the bathroom with each German presuming it was their birth right to go in the bathroom first and to take their sweet time about it. Once downstairs we went on the internet to check if anyone missed us and then set off to the train station. We were very early for the ... read more

reeeeeeeesting! my legs are falling off, i swear. see, i cant remember my legs being this tired in summer, despite that being a month of walking around. i suppose i wasnt waking up at 7am every day then, but still. whats happened to me?! i'm so unfit, it's ridiculous. ah well, boo hoo hoo. it's still been a fantastic time. token recap. after leaving this on an incredible cliffhanger yesterday as i thought i was in a rush, it turned out that my train to koper was 30minutes late, so with hindsight i could have sat around and provided the thrilling ending that the entry deserved, but no, i decided to sit on the platform like a giant lemon. train arrived, and away we went. i do enjoy staring out the window, it's nice. although i've ... read more

aaaaaaaaaace. it's bloody cold in this wonderful place. jerry is currently on an inversion table, and it looks pretty entertaining to be fair. anyway, token recap of the last 24 hours. getting to stansted was a pain, and it cost me a stupid amount of money, resulting in me then worrying about saving money for when i get back, which is pretty lame, as i dont want to worry about that whilst i'm here, as it's my week of no worrying. but yes, got to stansted, waited around for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages, and then got my booty on a plane. i love flying. i've said it about 793 times, but flying, especially over cities at night, is my favourite thing to do. we had a bit of turbulence, which i quite liked strangely enough. it's a strange sensation, ... read more

20th -22nd October............... Ljubljana with a population of 269,000 was the city that inspired me the most as to what Adelaide could be like that would draw tourists to experience an alternative relaxed lifestyle. What is needed however is inspired leadership on a Adelaide Local Government and State level. Ljubljana is in a lovely setting with a backdrop of alpine mountains, a castle that overlooks the old city that curves around each side of the river. But it is its artistic vibrancy and creative community that makes it more than just another pretty city. I headed to the Celicia Hostel which ‘Lonely Planet’ lists as the world’s hippest hostel. The hostel in its past was a prison and has now been remodeled with each cell being designed by a different architect. They were given the brief ... read more
