    Sep 24–26, 2025 in Slovenia ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

    24 September 2025, Wednesday. Up early. To breakfast at 7:15 to say goodbye to the six leaving at 7:30, then goodbye to Tom and Jan and our tour leaders Peter and Amy.. To the water bus about 8:30, buying a sandwich for lunch along the way. Light rain. To the Venice bus station for a 12 minute ride to Mestre where we boarded our Flix bus for Ljubljana, Slovenia. 4 1/2 hour bus ride, an hour behind schedule due to heavy traffic near and in Ljubljana. Taxi to the Hotel Bloom, then a walk in old town including crossing the river. Found a delightful Slovenian restaurant and had a nice meal of salad, mushroom soup, bread, wine, and pear brandyRead more
