Ljubljana, Slovenia:
Wednesday, November 13
Taxi right on time at 5:30am and cheap to Kelety Pu, the train station
- fifty minutes early - right on to a lovely second class car - aaahhhhh
Smooth, sunny ride through fields, past resorts on Lake Balaton -
signs in both Hungarian and German
Arrive Ljubljana around 3:00pm, later than expected - after walking in
circles, we rent a private room - cheap and clean, but damp and cold - the
mistress speaks only Slovenian and German - she lays down the law, rules
for everything
After a short time, it's dinner at a glorious brew-pub where we have
dark beer, new wine and the specialty of the house: goose (which the
waiter says is "something like a chicken"), red cabbage, dumplings and
baked apple
Back to the cave for a fitful sleep broken by thumping bass and drums
from some nightclub down the street
