Hello

I will be coming to Slovenia in December and i ll be there for 3 days. Apart from Ljubljana, i would also like to check out Bled, but to my shocking suprise most of the tours for Bled run only until October, why is that?

Welcome. There is a lot to see in Ljubljana. I am sure you won't be sorry to come. Check the Old City Center, its Ljubljana Castle and one of old Slovenian restaurants with traditional food. There are many of them, unfortunatelly, I am not sure what to suggest you.

I am sure someone will recommend you something in this topic. I am a bit in a hurry so I don't have time to tell you everything.

There is lots of stuff to try here! Depends what you are really looking for. Everyone finds something that suits him/her.

Enjoy your trip!
:)

Hey:)
Maybe offical site of Bled could help you:

All informations about Ljubljana and it's sights you can find here:

Where can i find some delicious serbian pleskavica in ljubljana?

go to Serbia then.

In Slovenia you can eat
- kranjske klobase, ajdovi štruklji, prekmurska gibanica, kremna rezina

i went to Serbia last year :)

Where can i find some delicious serbian pleskavica in ljubljana?
These two are restaurants:
Gostilna pod Rožnikom (aka ''Čad''); Cesta na Rožnik 18
Pri Jovotu; Poljanska 99

However if you'd like to go to a fast food place, just cruise the centre a bit and you'll find quite a few burek places which serve pleskavica too. And there was, I'm not sure if there still is, a place called ''Čevapdžinica Harambaš'' in the centre and as I heard their food was delicious.

Basically you won't have any trouble finding pleskavica :D

hellospank don't worry
in slovenia we have many restoruants where you can eat pleskavice and other serbian food
only in ljubljana are several restourants.sholdy said two but there are even portal, jelen and ...
you said you will go on bled,just there in the narrow are cities jesenice and kranj, where are many many restourants with balkan food:D, but if you are in slovenia tried gibancia, its very tasteful

well it's not serbian but bosnian but i think it's the best-harambaša somewhere in krakovo (ljubljana)

Can anyone reccomend a 1 day tour to bled from ljubljana?
the ones i checked on the internet are not available in winter :(

just take the train to Jesenice, jump off at Lesce-Bled and have a short walk... in Bled you should visit the castle and just hang around on the lake avenues.

I was there yesterday, lovely.

Why is everyone crazy about Bled when Bohinj lake is much nicer:?

By rent-a-car from Ljubljana it's the best way too see lovely places. You should take the main road, not motorway. Some villages are next to the main road, some are only few kilometres away.

Ljubljana
Škofja Loka
Radovljica- you can taste some typicall Slovene food at pension Lectar.
Brezje - place of pilgrimage.
Kropa -famous for its traditional smithies which produce a variety of decorative metal fittings.

Also Vrba and Bohinj are very close. Vrba is a birthplace of our biggest poet France Prešeren. Bohinj is another big lake and very near is waterfall Savica, famous of its mythical story.

I gave you some information, it's up to you what you want to see.

That's for summer. I am going in winter :ohno:

then take rent-a-car

or a train...

I'd also suggest rent-a-car from Ljubljana and you can have a short tour of the Gorenjska region by yourself. Stopping in Radovljica for a Lectar lunch or dinner would also be a good idea. Or maybe stop at a ski resort for a few hours in the morning before continuing to Bled. And don't forget to try the famous Kremšnite in Bled!

Have a good trip! :cheers:

As far as I know, there are very good regular bus routes in Slovenia. Last winter I was in Bohinj, Bled and Ljubljana by bus (cause I'm afraid of snow when driving :) and the buses are really good and efficient, a bit slow though, but you should check them too. Check the Ljubljana main bus station for timetables and prices: http://www.ap-ljubljana.si/. If you have time, my advice is to stay a few days in the Bled/Bohinj region because it's really great. Have a nice stay.

@hellospank25; you misspelt Ljubljana in your sig, btw. :) Have a nice stay! :cheers:

That's for summer. I am going in winter :ohno:

It is for summer but this same provider offers individual guided tours also in winter. A tour however costs 85€ so I suggest you consult some printed guide naming Lonely Planet and do the tour by yourself. Bled is just a small town after all.

do you guys know of any bookshop in ljubjana where i can buy photo books of the balkans in general

i am specifically looking for photo books of the war in bosnia and herzegovina and of the 1999 nato bombing in Serbia

Mladinska knjiga Trgovina, d.d.
Knjigarna Konzorcij
Slovenska 29, p.p. 33,
1117 Ljubljana

It's the biggest bookshop in Ljubljana, opposite the main Post.

^^thanks


On flickr today i came across this photo of kremna rezina

http://i37.tinypic.com/osz9km.jpg

how does it taste like? is it delicious?

^^ Yes it is good but Prekmurska gibanica (which is also on foto) is way better!!!

both are very good. Personally I prefer Prekmurska gibanica. It's really delicious.

What kind of a perverted drawing is there on the cups of coffee? :D

it's a psych test, and u just failed :P

LoKeY The Know-It-All. :p

Mmmm... I adore Prekmurska gibanica!!! It's absolutely delicious! (like most of the slovenian food) :)

i can't decide in which hostel i want to stay in Lubiana

Fluxus hostel or Alibi M14?

u said u've alredy chosen a hostel.. it's not like u'll live there for a year :)

I ended up booking Alibi M14 hostel :)
Can someone tell me about general cost of life in Lubiana?

About the same as in Australia.

Can someone tell me about general cost of life in Lubiana?

Italian annexation of Ljubljana ended in 1945. :)

I still haven't found a one day tour for Lake Bled in Winter! :ohno:

We will help you when you change nonexistent name Ljubjana to LJUBLJANA.

:rofl: Are there any such tours anyway? I only find those for groups, not if you're alone. :dunno:

i think about 10 people already told u there aren't any and that u need to go there on your own... the train won't eat u up u know.. :)

Ciao bella, mate,...:lol:

ej taki so avstralci že po defaultu...

Men se pa zdi, da so taki vsi evropski izseljenci, če pogledaš so si avstralci z američani zelo podobni. Infrastrukturo in arhitekturo majo praktično isto (starih stavb nimajo, od 50ih let prejšnjega stoletja se pa tako ali tako povsod gradi približno enake stavbe), obojni imajo neke svoje ''fejke'' evropskih avtomobilov (Opel->Saturn in še neki avstralskega pa se ne morem spomnit kaj čeprav bi lahko bil angleški Vauxhall), nobeni nimajo neke zgodovniske kulture, ker nimajo tudi nobene zgodovine eni so namreč politični izseljenci in kriminalci (ZDA), drugi pa zaporniki izgnani, ker zanje ni bilo več prostora v Evropi. Zdaj pa nam oboji vračajo udarec z vsiljevanjem njihove (ne)kulture. No pa da ne bom tako grozno krut do njih, vendarle je med njimi tudi veliko poštenih ljudi (med drugim je tu tudi veliko Slovencev), katerih predniki so bili tako hudi reveži, da so se morali izseliti iz Evrope, da bi začeli na novo in so s trdim delom ustvarili, kar imajo. Drugače pa en odsek iz filma In Brugges, ki se mi zelo dopade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSF5YkyabuQ
Verjetno je v tem odseku tudi nekaj resnice.

eni so namreč ... kriminalci (ZDA), drugi pa zaporniki

Živa resnica. :hilarious

Joj, dost off-topičarjenja tuki not. :cheers:

Take thread se je čisz izrodil. Tip neki sprašuje o prevozih do Bledain o kremšnitah ter poticah, mi pa smo zašli že do Allo Allo-ja in socioloških profilih Italo-Avstralcev. Ta thread bi lahko zaprli, ker zaradi enega tipa pa res ni potrebno debatirati o ne vem čem.

Dej nehi, k bi itak odprl nov thread. :D

ya sj, da bi spet spraševal, če je slovenija varna, če je voda pitna in če je varno jest hrano v restavracijah :nuts:

@strucka: verjetno si mislil Holden? Holden Astra, Holden Vectra...

Še nekaj stvar si pozabil glede Američanov in Avstralcev: oboji so obsedeni s preganjanjem seksa (tu so Avstralci še nekajkrat hujši karakterji kot Američani), kakršnekoli golote in s preganjanjem alkohola. Seveda vse v imenu otrok. Pa eni so najbolj debeli narod na svetu, drugi pa drugi najbolj. :lol::lol:

Kar mene najbolj moti, da Evropa množično kopira anglosaksonsko kulturo, v angleško govorečih državah pa skoraj nikoli ne skopirajo nič evropskega, čeprav je naše superiorno.

ya sj, da bi spet spraševal, če je slovenija varna, če je voda pitna in če je varno jest hrano v restavracijah :nuts:

pol pa sam še Prozac, stari moj,...:)

Točno Pijanec..Holden! No vidim, da nisem edini z določenimi predsodki do teh ljudi. Zdaj pa ne vem a je tuki kaka višja starostna skupina ali pa smo sami, recimo temu ljudje s kulturo. Namreč povsod kamor pridem se večina okoli verjetno sploh ne zaveda kako grozno kopirajo AS (Anglosaksonsko oziroma ameriško) kulturo, namreč vsi ti Mcdonaldsi in kokakole in te stvari, so nekaj neverjetnega, vsi se zavedajo kako škodljiva so ta živila pa vseeno jih z največjim tekom jedo. Ko sem bil manjši sem tudi sam bil vesel vsakega obiska Mcdonaldsa, ampak danes, jaz ga zavoham pa če je kilometer stran, notri pa nisem bil že verjetno kakih 5 let, ker je tista hrana tako neprijetna na pogled (še posebej to leti na kake ocvrtke, ki so ocvrti v ne vem čem), groza in gledati vse tiste ljudi kako si bašejo hamburgerje v usta, :puke::puke: groza. No ja upam, da bomo čimprej ugotovili, da se (Slovenci oziroma Evropejci) vztrajno približujemo Avstralcem, ker zaradi tega oni pač taki so, seveda ne samo od hrane ampak tudi zaradi načina prehranjevanja (torej od 6h do 18, 19h delo pa kak sendvič vmes (masten) ob 19h, 20h pa hitro v McD na 1l kokakole, 3 velike pomfrije, 2 bigmaca, 9 kosov ocvrtkov, 3 cheese, kraljevsko solato z velik majoneze, pa 3 pite pa 4 sundaeje) <--toliko kalorij in sladkorja, da bi praktično lahko enačil z litrom žganja, po vplivu na zdravje (grem stavit!). Kljub problemom z ledvicami bi vzel žganje =D je bolj zdravo pa fajn, če ga liter spiješ s prijatelji, kot pa, da poješ vse tisto (tudi s prijatelji).:cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:

Pa dajem predlog, da še nekaj časa (kak mesec) ohranimo ta thread v gostilnične namene obiranja američanov in avstralcev. =)

Morem ti povedati, da nikjer drugje na svetu nisem videl tako velikih hamburgerjev kot v McDonaldsih v Avstraliji. McChicken je bil za več kot 2x večji kot pri nas. Osebno sem imel tak hamburger dovolj za kosilo. Da ne omenim, če ti neke stvari niso mogli dati takoj ob nakupu, da so ti vedno rekli, da si kar nekaj izberi zastonj. Kar je bilo ob vsakem drugem nakupu. Potem pa ni čudno kaki so.

Tudi jaz se bojim vdora anglosaksonske kulture. Predvsem pa zaradi tega, ker večina javno kao nasprotuje ameriški kulturi oz. tudi v resnici mislijo, da ji nasprotujejo; če pa pride do kakšnega resnega pogovora, pa vidiš, da razmišljajo podobno kot v povprečnem hollywoodskem filmu. Boš videl, da bo tudi v Evropi čez 10 let izginil topless na plažah, v Nemčiji so imeli predlog zakonodaje, ki bi 14 letnim sodil kot odraslim; vse večje uveljavljanje leta 21 za vstop v diskote, obsedenost s pojmom "zaradi otrok" in "family friendly" itd. Katastrofa. Pa nimam nič proti Američanom (nasprotno, so veliko bolj prijazni kot Evropejci) in ostalim ... samo sem proti vsakršnemu fundamentalizmu, ki ga v teh državah množično prakticirajo na vseh področjih.

Ne boš verjel - v Avstraliji ravno poteka zaključno testiranje za projekt, ki bi celemu narodu obvezno cenzuriral obisk spletnih strani s seksualno vsebino, nekaterih političnih strani, strani z nasveti kako shujšati itd. Projekt o obveznem cenzuriranju "grdih" besed v emailih je na srečo padel v vodo. Ko je podobno uvedla Kitajska, so se vsi zgražali nad kršenjem človekovih pravic ... tu pa bodo tiho. Lep članek na to temo: http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/stories/s2426557.htm

Pijanec tole je res zanimivo branje, še posebej komentarji. Očitno je danes seks bolj napačen, kot ubijanje in kakršenkoli drug kriminal. Namreč na televiziji nam kažejo vse bolj krvave filme, igrice niso bile e nikoli tako nasilne, po svetu divjajo pred očmi vseh vojne v imenu miru, medtem, ko je karkoli povezano s seksom cenzurirano in izbrisano. Očitno imajo ti ljudje, ki se za to zavzemajo obupno seksualno življenje, ali pa tega nikoli niso niti izkusili, sam vem, da bi s svojim sinom veliko raje v nedeljo zvečer gledal en zelo dober erotični film, kot pa neko pobijanje z jean-claude van dammom, ali ameriško vojsko, ki je itak, cel Jezis Kristus in naš odrešenik, a v današnjem času bi verjetno to pomenilo ogromen kup težav s socialno službo. Upajmo da bo Obama naš kolikor toliko odrešenik in bo Zda naredil boljše. Čeprav se mi zdi, da je to nemogoče, glede na to kar sem že povedal par postov nazaj. Torej, kdo so ti ljudje.

Pa dajem predlog, da še nekaj časa (kak mesec) ohranimo ta thread v gostilnične namene obiranja američanov in avstralcev. =)

naj vam bo, če vas že veseli, ampak ne pretiravat..

eno vprašanje za vse ki vedejo,v katerem slovenskem mestu je najlepši božični sejem za obiskati?

hvala :)

Božični sejem? To sploh obstaja? Drugače za ogled pravljične dežele je najboljše v Celju, je bila še vedno do zdaj najlepša in dobro organizirana.

ne vem,zato vprašam ;)..sicer,hvala za zanimiv predlog :)

božični sejem obstaja v vsakem slovenskem selu =) V Ljubljani je kr lep :)

Ljubljanski božični sejem je prejel kar nekaj pohval in nagrad on mednarodnih revij itd.. Lahko ti pa tudi iz osebnih izkušenj povem, da je res odličen in ti vsekakor predlagam obisk.

Torej je danes ta tip že prišel v Slovenijo. Namesto snega, ga bodo pričakale poplave, še posebej na Gorenjskem.

Ne verjetno še ni prišel (glede na to, da je danes začel potovanje, bo verjetno jutri letel šele iz Šanghaja in se ustavil za kak dan ali pa še več v Istanbulu se pravi ga verjetno do 20. najmanj še ne bo pri nas. =D

Narobe je to, da je izbral tisti konec Slovenije. Tu v našem imajo ljudje več časa in bi bolj poskrbeli za njega, posebej v vinskih kleteh.

I had an awful start with this country, let's see our the next 3 days go

- I find it ridicolous that the taxi from the airport to the city costs 44 Euros, i mean we are talking about a city the size of my shoes, not even in Istanbul ( a city of 12 million) i had to pay such a ridicolous amount for transportation, infact i only paid 15 euros

- Second problem, i get to the hostel and there is no elevator, so i had to carry my 25 kg suitcase up two ramps of stairs (which could definetely be classified as a health hazard)

- Third problem, once i get to the second floor there is a sign on the door that says that the reception will be open from 8am, even though they advertise everywhere as 24 hours, so i had to wait in front of the door for a long time until someone got here

- Fourth problem, i did not have any sleep for the last 24 hours and it looks like i have to wait until 10 am before they give me a room and of course i will be wasting most of today catching up on my sleep (or lack of)


Let's see if i am going to add to this list of problems in the next 3 days
If i do, i will certainly not come back here ever again.

Welcome to Slovenia. :banana:

Health hazard? That's ridiculous. Carrying 25 kg is nothing. Even every rural Slovenian woman can handle that.

I had an awful start with this country, let's see our the next 3 days go

Any of these things could have happened in any other country in the world, and it's not our problem that you're just a big baby. Carrying a bag up two ramps of stairs seems a problem to you? What kind of a man are you? :nuts:

:lol: u poor thing you.. R u really that spoilt that u can't take a bus like normal people and carry a few suitcases up a copuple of staris? Sorry, but i just had to say it. If u wanna stay here in style, prepare to pay, this is no Ruanda or Congo. :dunno:

Oh, and all that prolly happened because u spelled Ljubljana wrong in your signature in the first place ! Karma is a bitch ! :D

If you want elevator then go to hotel like everybody normal, who goes on vacations.
And your talking like you are a pussy. Did you broke any of your nails while you had to carry those heavy bags :D :D :D

^^ Keep making jojes. i wanna see you laughing when no tourists will come here anymore if they are treated like shit.

^^ Keep making jojes. i wanna see you laughing when no tourists will come here anymore if they are treated like shit.

Technically, if u stay in a Motel you're classified as a backpacker. So noone hopes of getting many tourist €uros from you other than an occasional kebab.

^^ i am not stingy by the way , but that doesnt mean that i should be ripped off ,there is a great difference between the two :)

I was treated in Australia the same way you are here. Except, I carried 25 kg bag to 5th floor.

There are people who always need around 2 or 3 days to get used to something. I know some of them. They are so sad on first day of vacation, saying how dirty it is, how bad food did they get and much more.

You will see it's not that horrible after 2 days... You will kinda like it. If not, try going to Croatia. Haha!

Oh you poor Aussie. I've always thought Aussies are tougher and masculine. At least my Australian friends are like that. But, obviously you're a special case.

You should know that largeness of the city isn't important. The only important thing is duration or distance between the airport and your final stop. So, don't compare Instanbul with Ljubljana. Let me just tell you that a taxi in Vienna from airport to the main railway station (15 min) costs 32 euros. In Venice, by water taxi, from airport to the centre (20 min) costs 70-80 and by road taxi 30 euros.

Usually a taxi from Ljubljana airport to the centre costs between 35-40 euros, depends on time that takes 30-45 minutes. You you should have checked this before your arrival. Instead of asking us about potica, kremšnita and gibanica, you should have chekced web page of Ljubljana airport. But you imagine, we have even buses! Departure from airport every hour or less and the price - 5 euros!

You had problems with 2 floors and only 25 kilos??? In that case, if you can't handle this, you should have stayed at home! Or you could easily ask one girl to carry this bag instead of you, perhaps she wouldn't complain so much. Is it you first time in hostle? I've visited at least 30 hostles al around Europe and only 2 of them had elevators. Of course I had a pleasure to carry my bag higher than 2 floors.

Don't worry about tourists. They will come to Slovenia. Or maybe you've visited wrong city. You are obviously in Ljubjana (that's in eastern Sibiria). The capital of our beautiful Slovenia is LJUBLJANA!

Btw. Have a nice trip! :)

I am going to Bled tomorrow, so hopefully it will be good weather
or even snow would be nice

@hellospank: which hostel are you staying in?

@hellospank: which hostel are you staying in?

Alibi M14 on Miklošičeva cesta

I was going to go to the gay sauna tonite, but it is not in the city center

^^Do you know that we have THE BEST youth hostel in the world in Ljubljana? At least that's what Lonely Planet says... it's called Celica and it's located in Metelkova area... :cheers:

Do we have separated gay saunas in Slovenia? I thought all saunas are all (nude) people friendly.

gay sauna is a place where you can have sex
you cannot have sex in a regular sauna

Some comment on your terrible 3 days in Slovenia.

... First. Mass tourism created creatures who travel from point A to see point B expecting the same conditions they left in point A to be in point B... Be aware to be this creature next time.

... A second principal mistake which is typical for mass tourism: Once I pay them they have to do everything I would like to. No. They will do what THEY are used to for the price, not what YOU wish them to do for the price. Always. Everywhere.

... As far as I know the most common check-in a hostel/hotel around the world is 2 p.m. If they let you check-in at 8, 9, 10, 11, it is because of their good will (and because there was nobody in your room the night before and so it is prepared for immediate check-in).

... To carry a 25 kg baggage is a personal irresponsibility. No matter if you just moved 17 thousand kilometers or you landed from the universe. There are two kinds of tourists, hellospank. Those with light baggage and those who wish to have light baggage... I hope you are adult enough and you didn't follow packing let's-have-the-same-comfort-as-home-America-wherever-we-go instructions from Lonely Planet!

... You are not the central point of the universe. Tired person is one of the most common being in tourist areas around the world. There may be 6 or 21 people as tired as you in the same hostel you are... From your point of view you had an extraordinary day moving from the other part of the world to Slovenia. From the hostel point of view you are an ordinary client. They checked-in people who just came from Japan 15 minutes before you and await a group of sooooo exhaaaaausted Americans (who will try to overpass you by demonstrating their almost-death tiredness; and asking internet access right when landed on reception sofa) half an hour later.

... Far more people use public transport daily in Europe than in anglo-saxon countries. That is why it is cheaper, while taxi cabs more expensive than what you are used to. Some Slovenes may not comment your taxi affair as they have literally no experience with taxi cabs in their life and they won't know what to say about it.

... There are two general types of a travel. 1 - comfortable, trouble free, prepaid in advance, experienceless, expensive. 2 - tiring, trouble full, not prepaid, experiencefull, cheap. Before you go somewhere next time, define yourself as no.1 or no.2... The most common cause of disappointing vacations is neither a taxi driver nor a hostel staff. The most common cause of disappointing vacations is a person, who is a traveler no.2, but thought he was the no.1 one.

... Troubles you described, that is just traveling, hellospank! It causes troubles. If it does not, than it is A-to-B-moving, not traveling. The affair about locked reception after 24h non-sleeping will get a funny story during evening talks with friends in Melbourne two years later, believe it :wink2:. Otherwise you can always prepare more cash, switch to a person no.1 and feed your friends with ingenious Ljubljanaz-cool-dude-like stories.

PS: Oh, I forgot. Many protected historical buildings in Europe work as hotels nowadays. Because they are protected, reconstructions are limited and building a lift may be forbidden, because it may destroy it's historical value. So an absence of a lift is often not a lack of good service, but a consequence of why people travel to Europe. To see history of architecture.

@OV_79.. Thank you for telling this to our friend Hellospank25. Traveling on low budget comes with some problems, and if you are not able to cope with them, don't travel, it is as easy as it gets.

Vse ostale homofobe tuki gor pa prosim, da se "zaprejo v stanovanje in delajo(govorijo) tam kar hočejo, tako, da ne bo nihče vedel, kaj delajo(govorijo)"
Tko kot vas motijo pedri, lezbike in ostali (da ne bo pomote, te zadeve se meni gnusijo, a ker me osebno ne zadevajo nimam nobene pravice nastopati proti njim), tko tudi mnoge tukaj moti vaša nestrpnost, da ne omenjam pravnih zadev (v končni fazi vas lahko kdo ovadi)... Kot osnovna človekova pravica ni navedena svoboda govora ampak svoboda izražanja(39.člen ustave) in če se dva istospolnika držita za roke imata do tega vso pravico saj ne vplivata na svobodo kogarkoli drugega. "Človekove pravice in temeljne svoboščine so omejene samo s pravicami drugih in v primerih, ki jih določa ta ustava. "
Glede na to, da vsi ti standardi veljajo po celem razvitem svetu, je možno v "str8" raju živeti le še v islamističnih in totalitarnih državah v razvoju(Sudan, S.Koreja...).

I went to Bled today with a tour and it was nice however we were not able to go to the island thanks to the heavy wind and rain :ohno:

no snow either yet, hopefully it will snow tomorrow in lubiana

I also had the kremna rezina and permuska cake and i prefer the permuska one because the kremna rezina is far too soft and a bit tasteless, i was expecting some sort of hard consistency from the pictures i saw of it, but in reality it is very soft

Iono if it was such a wise idea having it... u might become ill, because its creamy softness could make u ill for several days if u aren't used to it. Plus they use some weird cultivated cultures here, that Europeans are used to, so i hope everything turns out okay.

Btv, where is this Lubiana u keep talking about? I've never been :D

I just walked to the castle to take some lovely photos
that trail walking path and all the trees nearby would be
a great place to have sex at night when it s dark
do people use it much for sex?

they do, but Ljubljana isn't really known for sex tourism.. so u better go 'round and take pics of the city and not of naked butts in the bushes

Kaj je s tem človekom? Naj mu kdo kupi tisto mašino iz Eurotripa (Amsterdam), pa naj gre nazaj ''tja dol uspodi'' pa se ma fino. Sam bohve, kaj je on kej delal na tisti potki. O fak bom raje šel zdaj igrat ikariam.

Well, you can try to have it with your friends (if you're not alone here) some night but i don't know if it's totaly fine to do so? I Don't know all the laws here.

Bog nam pomagaj. :ohno:

It most certainly isn't!! What kind of a disgusting animals are you? get a fucking room and have sex there with who ever and what ever you want, but to things like these you'll show some fucking respect. In ja je zakon, ki prepoveduje seks na javnih površinah. Vendar se mi zdi, da je za to predvidena kazen (za motenje javnega miru) okoli 200€. Pred parimi tedni so snemali na Celjskem gradu ''pornič'' in se spomnem, da so po grofovskem seksu dobili grofovske položnice. A ni lepše doma, na postelji, pod tušem, mogoče kuhinji, na sedežni?

a ti maš tko prijatelje kr za seksat al kako :D

No, prijatelje, to mislim ženskega spola seveda :D

Zanj pa nevem. Glej, najboljš da ti dol visi zanj. Sej, če je preveč fuknen ga pustiš pri miru. Bolje je, da mu kaj povemo pa to, pa nam če že ne drugega doma v avstraliji vsaj pozitivno promovira slovenijo, ne pa, da ljudjem razlaga kakšna nevljudna rednekovsko homofoba država smo.

A je to tako težko?

You are funny :lol:

I know, just watch out for me.

when do the buses for the airport start in this city in the morning?

my flight is at 7:55 am so i should be at the airport at least 2 hours before

that. What is the bus number and where would i catch it from, do i need to

buy ticket before hand or can i buy it on the bus?

i think if i catch the bus it will somehow balance the 44 euros i spent on arrival :)

oh my god.go to the bus station and see it yourself.i assume you are over 18 so that won't be so hard eh?

Your supermarkets are so nice! and you have so many delicios things including
italian products! i saw mulino bianco, kinder, duplo, bauli, dash and so many others i wish we had all those nice things in australia

i found the food here quite delicious i tried all sort of things pleskavica, cevapci, kranski hot dog, pizza, potica it was all delicious :)

dash hahahahahahah what a freak
we also have mercator cola.you have to try it.

well hellospank, just for info:

Pleskavica, cevapcici and so on are more or less regarded as a junk food here in slovenia, just like hamburgers in australia. While Potica and prekmurska gibanica are quality deserts .

What a fantastic night i had!
this really makes up for the initial bad start
i love this place now :)

As I mentioned 10 posts ago... You just need some time to get used. That happens often! Have fun now that you are feeling better!

hi people

I need a website telling me weather forecasts, EXPECIALLY SNOW. I am going to some little village on the NovaGorica-Jesenice railway line, just to have a nice walk in the snow.

but yes, if I go there one day and I find out there is no snow, it's disappointing.

so please, link me something to check :D

Which village did u have in mind? I don't think there's currently any snow along that line, only higher up in the mountains, where there's the danger of avalanches :D

I have in mind the last station before the looooooooooooooooong tunnel. Which is also the waterdivide between Adriatic and Black Sea.

The village is Podbrdo. Nothing to see I know, but I wanted to go to some isolated place, that can be reached by train.

So you tell me there's no snow up there? damn, it's pretty inside the Alps though :nuts:

Not too sure if there is any. Maybe a few patches. There is 7m of snow on Kanin tho :D

This is the govermental environment agency site http://meteo.arso.gov.si/, they have a radar image of percipitation, hope this helps..

thanks, I will check it out.

I still need a place to go by TRAIN, not car :(

and I'm sad Bohinjska Bistrica is far from train station..

^^ Bohinjska Bistrica has its own train station.

ahm, yes, right, I'm stupid. I meant Bohinjsko jezero. is there anything nice to see in Bohinjska Bistrica? I planned to go there by bike in spring, so I didn't want to spoil the waiting now.

so ok, as I understand, there is no snow on Podbrdo :/

EDIT
I checked this page:
http://meteo.arso.gov.si/met/en/climate/maps/
and yes, I understand snow is rare on this side of the alps.

this goes back to the Bohinj option.
does a regular bus exist between Bistrica and Stara Fuzina?

^^ Check this out:

Hey, Happy New Year!

I have recently visited Maribor and used the following website from a Slovenian family who now live in the UK:

http://www.maribor-slovenia-travel-guide.com

Maribor is not on the tourist map, yet it is so amazing!

By the way, any idea of really decent wineries selling Teran? I was told seaside villages are a good start.

Cheers!

if you want teran the seaside is not the right place
you have to go to a region called Kras (which is near the seaside) and there you have in every village nice wineries

Photos from my trip!

Nice pics, i hope u enjoyed your trip ^^:)

Nice pics, i hope u enjoyed your trip ^^:)

Yeah of course i did, i was invited to an orgy on my last day there :lol:

:rofl:

Nice pictures. :)

That red sauce is, i believe, ajvar. Its made from tomatoes, red pepper, hot pepper, onions.

^^ I enjoyed it very much. Where did pleskavica originate from?

Ex-Yugoslavia. Pazte, kaj si je napisu pod ime. :laugh: A bi moral bit brez 'k'-ja? :shifty:

Mislim, da ne, ker je spank in je potem span drugega pomena.

Hi, guys!

I have a few questions about a planned trip to Slovenia. I'll travel from Bulgaria via Slovenia and my final destination is Vienna. I like to see the as much as possible within 3-4-5 days. I think its best to choose a base somewhere in the middle of Slovenia, say Ljubljana or its surroundings and to make day trips to Bled, Piran, probably Postoina, and Maribor.

However, I found a great place near Bled lake. I like the idea of going there but I am not sure if 3-4 days are not too much for a place like this won't be too long - I mean I don't want just to stay and enjoy the lake. A day-trip to Ljubljana is OK, but Piran seems too much for a day.

I have another option - going to Vienna and then, on my way back to Bulgaria, to pass via Maribor.

Please advise me what to do.

Thanks in advance!

It is best that you stay at a hotel (or hostel) in Ljubljana as it is centrally located and has the best offer of hotels and everything else.

Here is my suggestion for your trip:

Day 1: Ljubljana. You find a hotel (or hostel) and explore the city's sights. (old town, castle, museums and galeries, boat trip, shopping in BTC..., whatever interests you)

Day 2: Seaside. Postojna cave first, Lipica and then Piran.

Day 3: A trip to Bled (and maybe Bohinj, some say it's even nicer than Bled).

Day 4: Celje old town and castle tour, and Maribor.

Day 5: You can either stretch the upper sights withing these five days or perhaps visit one of the many spas (toplice) and water parks Slovenia has to offer. Or maybe a trip to Škocjan caves, a soča river ride, Dolenjska and Novo Mesto? Ptuj old town and castle?

And bear in mind that it shouldn't take you more than an hour or max. two to reach any of these destinations.

I hope you have a great time. :cheers:
