Hey all... Eighteen days and I am outa here! I'm going to miss everyone so very much, but I know the next 10 months are going to go SO quickly. Anyway, to keep up to date on my travels keep checking my blog and I'll try to keep it as up to date as possible. I will do my best to respond to e-mails too, but my mother does take presidence in personal e-mails so the rest of y'all will have to wait! Godbless you all and I hope everyone has a wonderful year at school and work! mel.... read more

Europe » Slovenia » Upper Carniola » Bled August 3rd 2006

I know when to hold my hands up and admit I was wrong....and today is the day. I did need to pack that jumper and my waterproof would have come in handy too. We arrived in Lake Bled to be told by the very helpful taxi driver that until yesterday they had had the best weather all year. Luckily for us then that we experienced some of their worst weather! It has rained every day for most of the day. Ok we landed another 4 star hotel (we should have been in the self catering apartments but they upgraded us!) but the weather is anything but 4 star. The scenery is breath taking but throughout the day you lose sight of the mountains because the rain clouds descend! But enough moaning what have we done in ... 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

Europe » Slovenia » Upper Carniola » Ljubljana August 1st 2006

We arrived in Ljubljana on Saturday afternoon and the town was shut! Even the tourist information at the train station shut three hours before our guide book said it would. With directions to the nearest 2 star hotel in hand we trudged through the heat to find it - however when we did fear of Eli Roth's film 'Hostel' sprung to mind and we beat a hasty retreat to the town centre. Aah...the town centre....much better! Another tourist information centre had details of a 4 star hotel deal in the town at the Grand Union Hotel...I know, deals during the summer months, this cannot be I hear you cry, but it was true. So without too much thought we booked in for three days of luxury! With free use of a rooftop swimming pool and sauna ... 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

呢朝起身特別醒神,因為我要見我偶像啦!搭車出城區。薩爾斯堡係個山城,車外風光係咁多日以泥最靚、最令我震撼o既!哇!d山、d草、d樹,又高又廣闊,好好好正!入到城,先參觀米拉貝花園。o個度好靚,但我並冇影好多相,因為個心已經去左第二度:)之後一路行,最後就左糧食大街,即係莫札特故居、莫札特廣場、大教堂廣場等o既集中地。好無奈地,導遊只係俾左40分鐘free time(連埋行番去上車地點o既時間)我地。我先去莫札特廣場。見到佢個像o既時候,真係...百感交集,予欲無言。但我並冇時間去思去想,就要立刻飛奔去莫札特故居。並冇團友入去,我一個人走入去,感覺好特別。o係入面,只要想像下佢o係度彈琴、作曲,已經...好滿足。我只係o係入而逗留左15分鐘,仲有一層我完全未踏足。好無奈,但好滿足。 之後就去斯洛文尼亞o既盧比安娜同埋碧湖。碧湖...一個好靚好舒服o既地方。盧比安娜...好寧靜。o係古城漫步真係好。呢晚o既酒店令我讚不絕口!我至愛o既金色o既床舖、金色o既窗簾、金色o既燈罩...正!仲係套房tim。yeah~... read more

Hi ya, So we did it the long way round but we made it to Slvoenia at last. We're still on the Adriatic coast at a small place called Ankaran about a 5 minute walk from the Italian border (but its still Slovenia). Again we didn't think about it being a different currency but they still accept Euro's anyway. Its a scorcher again here apart from a thunder storm one lunch time that we thought was going to be rubbish until the heavens opened and we got soaked, it was lovely and refreshing!!! I'm afraid most time is spent sun bathing as its just too hot to do anything else. The camp site is nice enough to stay here though and its dirt cheap for everything. There's only a small coast line in Slovenia but we ... read more

Geo: 45.4953, 13.5965When we arrived back in Piran we went for a walk up to the top of the town for a view of Piran. The view was good. We decided to walk to the next beach town for some dinner. We walked along the boardwalk, past the nudist beach and 20 minutes arrived. All we could find was bars and an expensive restaurant. So we walked all the way back to Piran and went to a pizzeria for pizza! Yum, yum, this is the start of many pizzas. Had an early night, as we have an early start tomorrow morning.... read more

Geo: 45.6805, 14.1221Maeve and I waited for the 10.45 bus, but it never arrived, so we tried to get the 11.15 bus. This driver was not happy to see the dozen of us wanting to get on. He was really cranky. The price was 1920 (he typed it on his calculator), I gave him a 5000 note and only got 2100 change!! I told him that it wasn't correct, he wasn't fussed and didn't seem to know any English. I then indicated that he can have his ticket back and I'll have my 5000 tollar note back, no such luck. I was so pissed off with him. This was when I wish I knew a few words in his language, which was either Croatian or Slovene. He did the same to Meave and has made himself ... read more
