Wednesday 30th April

Check out from hotel and say goodbye to the staff, Petra, Dejan, Alexander and Sebastjan who have been fantastic hosts.

Finally manage to convince a very work shy gondolier to take us out to Bled Island in the middle of the lake. We had tried the previous day to make the trip but to no avail. Even today we had to wait about 20 minutes so that he could load up the gondola with 15 passengers. At 12 euros each person it’s not bad money, although with his work ethic he may only make one trip per day!

Take the 1.30 bus from Bled fro the 90 minute trip to Slovenia’ capital, Ljubljana.

Check into Hotel Cubo which is a well-appointed hotel very close to the city centre.

Walk to the Old Town to plan the next day’s itinerary and book dinner at Spajza Restaurant. Superb meal with me winning the award for Messiest Diner when tackling the Scampi dish.

1 of the many fabulous Restaurants we had dinner at in Slovenia

End the evening on an interesting note when we hear a lady at the next table order an Australiano coffee. She turns out to be a polish woman , now living in Australia, who refuses to order an Americano as the coffee is always too insipid. She has a real supporter in my better half.

Short walk along the river in this lovely small city, of which more tomorrow.

Cheers

The Obese Ferret
