Well....It has been little over a week since my last entry, and so much has happened. Vienna to Lake Bled, Slovenia and now the capital of Slovenia Ljubljana (Loob leeyaana). We spent two days in Vienia, where my mom studied for 4 months. I had been there before, but the weather was terrible and I did not have a good feeling about the city. This time we decided to take a bike tour the first day and really got a great overview of a wonderful and beautiful city, full of art, culture and a ton of history that has shaped the world as we know it. Highlights of this city included having cappucino and a chocolate croisant for breakfast and having a little austrian woman tell me about the opera in vienna and how amazing it ... read more

I made it to Slovenia! Unbeleivably! Meeting up with Ash and Alaya was great! We've all done so much and it's bizarre to be together again in auch a strange (and beautiful) place. Weather is fine. Internet it expensive. Onto the photos! :)... read more

Hello hello I am presently in Slovenia at the moment, in the capital city of Ljubljana. What a gem of a city, it has no big attractions but the atmosphere is the best that i have experienced yet. It's a city that has a large italian and german influence. We are only 100 miles from italy at the moment. We got here two days ago and before that we spent 4 nights in lake Bled up in the Alps. We met some very funny welshmen there who were obsessed with eating horse, its a slovenian delicacy. Spent most of our time doing as little as possible in the sun by the lake. Went canyoning which was awesome. You put a wetsuit and helmet on and go jumping, absailing and ziplining down this canyon. Got a bit ... read more

17 sierpnia - Ljubljana Rano szybkie sniadanie, znowu ze Szwajcarami - oni chyba caly tylko czas jedza ;) nie, nie, wygladaja na aktywnych turystow i maja fajne latareczki, tez chce taka;) Ale to kiedys, moze w przyszlym roku. Szybko jedziemy do stolicy. Szukamy jakiegos miejsca do zaparkowania, co graniczy z cudem. Znajdujemy je gdzies na osiedlu domkow, ale niedaleko od centrum jak sie poniej okazuje. Ljubljana jest malutka, tak malutka, ze idac dochodzimy do glownego placu nie zdajac sobie sprawy, ze to centrum turystyczne miasta. Znajduje sie na nim centrum informacji skad bierzemy plan miasta i zaczynamy zwiedzanie. Na placu znajduje sie most Triple Bridge (Tromostevje), Frančiškanska cerkev i maly market. Nad miastem kroluje zamek Ljubljanski grad, od razu postanawiamy sie wdrapac na wzgorze, zeby podziwiac panorame miasta. Schodzimy na dol i biegniemy zobaczyc Pa ... read more

For seventeen days I wandered between three of the ex-Yugoslav republics, with Slovenia as both the first and the last stop on my trip. Like part of a family, they all share certain common elements of history, language, cuisine, and culture…but just like any one of three sisters who is constantly admired for her similarities to the other two; each would be quick to highlight what differentiates her so drastically as well. Admittedly, I set out from Rome in a frame of mind completely inconducive to appreciating these differences…and perhaps even to travel in general. Due to a badly timed arrival of 30+ books from the States, I left with a whopping 62 kilos in tow and was drenched in sweat and fully exhausted from the nearly impossible task of lugging all my newly purchased luggage ... read more

On August 14th after being in Portugal for work and visiting family some days i started my summer holidays trip! I flew from Lisbon to Amsterdam and from Amsterdam i continued my trip where Adria Airways flew me to ljubljana in Slovenia. Adria operates this route with very small planes and the weather above the alps and in slovenia was bad, rainy and windy so we had quite some turbulence and especially with such a small plane you notice that well. Luckely enough i landed at Brnik Airport in one piece. 2 friends were waiting for me at the airport and drove me to their house. As it was raining so hard we decided to stay in and drink...we just left the house to get a famous "Horse Burger" near Tivoli park. It was also very ... read more

First, thanks for everyone who's commented on the website, I only just realized how I could read your contributions - its nice to hear from you all! After Trogir we headed north up the coast of Croatia and stopped on an island called Vir, planning to stop just for a night. But then Bad news - a scratch on Grace's leg got infected, so we went to the pharmacy, who called the doctor and told us to see her, who gave us a prescription after hanging about for two hours, so back to the pharmacy, and then we had to stay another night to visit the doctor again. Lot of hanging about in a, to be blunt, craphole... it's like the wild west, full of Hungarians building horrible holiday homes so it all looks like a ... read more

After one year in Slovenia I'm ready to take my leave. In one week I will be heading for Pula at the Croatian coast where my journey will begin. But now I ask myself if this will really be the beginning of my travel. For an entire year I have been living as a foreigner. For an entire year I have been living in a country which is not my own. So to start this travelblog I feel it is proper to tell a bit about Ljubljana, which has been my place of residence this last year. Coming to Ljubljana last year in september I found myself surprised that what I had expected to be a city of communist architecture and statues of Tito was more a mini Paris with highly recommendable café life and a ... read more

I woke up early and caught the nice breakfast that they were serving. Then I ran into Chris and we made tentative plans to go to Zagreb together. After I hit an internet café and headed into town for a quick lunch. I passed by Lili’s shoe store and said a weird goodbye. Then I hauled ass back to the hostel through the rain and grabbed my stuff out of the luggage room. Chris was already gone so I headed to the train station myself. I arrived in Zagreb a bit after 6pm and gegan wandering in the underground mall by the station. Eventually I found 2 Israeli’s named Ben and Jonathan and together we got a reservation with Hostel Rovenice at Plaza Trg Bana Jelacica. The hostel is a bit out of the way but ... read more
