So, to celebrate gingerbread, gluhwein and twinkling bright lights, I bring you this post: the Best Christmas Markets in the World. (Only, it's not really the whole world. Just the countries between Turkey and Germany. But let's face it, that wouldn't make such a good title...

Sightseeing in Ljubljana, Slovenia
Blog: Pommie Travels - 10 May 2011
Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana, doesn’t look up to much from the train. Having come from the beautiful, clean, nothing-bad-ever-happens city of Salzburg, Ljubljana was definitely something different. We arrived at the train station in the middle of the night and ended up lost wandering the streets looking for the Hostel Celica. If we hadn’t been walking [...]

The Skeleton Bar, Ljubljana, Slovenia
Blog: Pommie Travels - 9 May 2011
If you’re staying in Ljubljana and you go anywhere on a night out, the Skeleton Bar should be on your list. Possibly one of the world’s weirdest bars, the Skeleton Bar in Ljubljana has a book case concealing the toilet and creepy portraits of skeletons on the wall. It’s something a bit different and a [...]

A Little Travel Memory…Slovenian Summer Street Theatre
Blog: A Little Adrift - A RTW Travelogue - 2 August 2010
Travel Memories: Street Theatre Festival in Slovenia Visiting Slovenia the first week of July in 2009 was one of those happy travel accidents – I had no idea that the Ana Desetnica summer theatre festival was going on that week but now can’t imagine the lovely little capital city of Ljubljana without the huge festival tents and impromptu street performances that took over the green lawns and parks throughout the city-center. In fact, I actually love the theatre festivals I’ve seen all over the world so much that when I was ...

Fast-Track Traveling
Blog: Honey Service Year - 22 June 2010
Our blogging has really taken a nose dive in the last few weeks. We have been traveling so fast that my head is spinning. Can I give you a tour through the Balkans? I must warn you, our experiences are brief and incomplete, but hopefully will give you a taste. May 28, 2010: Arrive in Taşucu, Turkey, by way of Cyprus. What a wonderful change from Cyprus: normal prices, normal people, and although

Ljubljana
Blog: Leave Me Here - 29 May 2010
Ljubljana [lub-lee-ahna], is the capital of Slovenia. But you knew that right? As a traveler in Europe in April, there was no real escaping the whole Volcano-in-Iceland-erupting-and-causing-mass-havoc-to-transport-everywhere. For me that meant a cancelled flight, then walking to the local station in Budapest, taking one look at the 3+ hour line of people waiting in the [...]

Ten Fragments of Ljubljana
Blog: Aerohaveno: A Travel Blog - 8 May 2010
I’m in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, once the northernmost part of Yugoslavia but nowadays a delightful little nation in the European Union. It’s the first stop on a journey through Slovenia and Hungary to Poland, where I’ll be updating Lonely Planet’s Eastern Europe guidebook. My other half Narrelle Harris is accompanying me on the journey, and we’ve both been quite smitten by this pint-sized capital of a postage-stamp country. Here are ten random fragments of Ljubljana that have taken our fancy...

Ljubljana- The Cutest European Capital You Can’t Pronounce
Blog: Twenty-Something Travel - 14 March 2010
Ljubljana is completely unreal. As in, it literally does not seem like a real place. It’s too clean, too pastel and too nice- kind of like if Disney decided to build a European capital and give it a whimsical unpronounceable name. Except that unlike Disney, there’s actual character lying behind the sparkling façade. Even the train [...]

Salzburg and Ljubljana -July 23rd, 2009. So a quick stop at breakfast – usually YHA usually do damn good breakkys, but this one is disappointing. Utterly shit. So I head off to media markt to buy a camera. And then leave salzburg for greener pastures. I head to the HBF and get on a train to Ljubljana [...]

Slovenia and the Creepiest Castle
Blog: Abandon the Cube - 10 November 2009
We arrived in Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital, three hours after departing Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. The train was a lovely design with six seats to a cabin with a sliding glass door. We had an extremely friendly Croatian lady in our cabin who was visiting Ljubljana to lay flowers at her family grave plot.

Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 30 August 2009
If Faithless’s classic dance thumper ‘Insomnia’ had of been about a Yorkshireman with sexual frustration issues rather than penned regarding a sleeping disorder, the chorus may have been ‘I can’t get no sheep’. The reason this occurred to me is I had a rather nasty case of it (the sleeping disorder that is) last night, [...]

An Alpine Adventure
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 29 August 2009
Another 4 hours sleep was last night’s count. I must be acclimatised to it now though as I don’t even feel that bad, it could prove to be a useful skill. The average man sleeps for 194,821 hours during his lifetime Not me, you can skim a cool 84 thousand off of that. I’m just [...]
