I arrived in Ljubljana - which I still have trouble pronouncing, and spelling with all those consenants - mid-afternoon. I immediately went off to find and check into my hostel, the Celica. I liked the place right off the bat. As a former prison-turned-artsy-fartsy-hostel-bar, I was expecting something different from your average hostel and I was not disappointed. The place is really clean, has lots of cool spaces to hang out, and everyone is super-friendly. Within around 5 minutes of arriving at Celica, I was in my room - a 12-bed dorm unfortunately as all the smaller, prison cell rooms were already booked. I immediately met two blokes - 42 year old David from Whales and 23-year old Cathal (pronounced Ko-hal) from Ireland. We went down to the Celica bar where we drank a number of ... read more

Slovenia was back on the Mediterranean. The easiest way to tell I’d hit the Med again was the men. Perhaps they should rename it Slobber-enia. They stared, they whistled, they called out, there was a backside slapping incident… I could barely hear myself think over the din. I caught the train from Czech through Austria to Ljubljana. My opinion of Vienna is well-publicized (ie. Most boring city in Europe - perhaps the world) - so I completely bypassed it. The scenery was all green mountains and blue rivers and lakes. My cabin mate Anna was on her way to Zagreb for a peace convention and regaled me with great stores about her family, work and travels making the journey seem far shorter. As any solo train traveler will tell you, it’s also nice to have a ... read more

呢朝一早要去布斯當娜鐘乳石洞。係歐洲最著名的鐘乳石洞。我本身唔係太期待,但係...入到去之後真係令人驚歎!我地先搭小火車入鐘乳洞，再沿住小徑參觀。哇,個洞超級大,好正好正!好壯觀!入面雖然只有10零度,但太正啦,我一d都唔覺凍。大自然不愧係大自然。之後食完午餐,就搭車去克羅地亞o既札格勒布啦。到左之後我地o係城入面行。札格勒布好寧靜,一d首都feel都冇,感覺好好。... read more

Geo: 46.0514, 14.506Arrived back around 10 and we went for a final walk and drink in the old town. This place seems really alive and all the sidewalk cafes chairs are occupied. There are more locals than tourists and this country seems reasonably priced. We went to bed early after our big, tiring day.... read more
