Slovenia

A short trip to Ljubljana was an excuse to get an over-night train ticket, all in all a questionable move given the reputation of the Serbian Railways. The stiffness and smell of the bleached out bed sheets in my compartment brought vivid memories of going to the seaside with my Aunt in 1982, which was the summer when Mother was pregnant and stayed in Belgrade.

Bled and Bohinj lakes are a short bus ride away.
