Bled, Slovenia Wishes You Were Here
Blog: Suzy Guese - 17 February 2012
The sun’s rays draw a line in the water, just before Bled Island, almost looking for the on-lookers to make a decision. Which side will you choose? A lone man row-row rows a boat out to the morsel of land. The water is not that turquoise color I had seen in photographs. The landscape surrounding [...]

Trieste: Sadness at the Start of the Iron Curtain
Blog: Inside the Travel Lab - 27 December 2011
Trieste, Italy Behind me, I know that sapphire lights stud their way across the stone. Right now, though, I’m watching darkness. Behind me, flames from an occasional car streak across the empty velvet sky, backlit by the brilliance of a long forgotten empire. Ahead I see nothing. Black, dark, empty, silent. Just the sound of [...]

Travel Porn delivers visual stimulation from around the world each week (most likely Fridays when I’m not stuck in a backwater somewhere).

Accommodation and Places to Eat in Slovenia
Blog: Pommie Travels - 30 July 2011
Slovenia is one of the former country of Yugoslavia’s most beautiful new nations – with almost half the land located in the dramatic mountains of the Alps and over 50 percent being forested. There is even a sliver of coastline, with 30 miles of the Mediterranean Sea bordering the south of the country. Slovenia has [...]

The Postojna Caves in Slovenia
Blog: Pommie Travels - 22 May 2011
The Postojna Caves were definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Slovenia. There are two sets of cave systems in Slovenia- the Škocjan Caves and the Postojna Caves. We rented a car from Hertz in Portoroz to make the drive to the Karst region of Slovenia, where the Postojna caves are located. It’s [...]

Hostel Review: Alibi Hostel in Piran Slovenia
Blog: Pommie Travels - 15 May 2011
*Raving Review Alert* After spending rather too long in Ljubljana, we wanted to escape the city and breathe in the fresh sea air somewhere along the coast. Having heard Piran was a great spot on the coastline and much nicer than Trieste or Koper, we decided to hunt for accommodation on Hostelbookers. It turns there’s [...]

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.

2 Reasons to visit Slovenia: Bled and Bohinj
Blog: Todd's Wanderings - 1 November 2010
I know what you’re thinking: “Slovenia, where the hell is that?” Or possibly: “What only 2 reasons, is that all you’ve got? Are you getting lazy Todd? I mean all the other Top [insert arbitrary number] Lists have WAY more than just 2.” Truth be told, I never thought about visiting Slovenia until recently. My other little secret is that there are more than 2 reasons to visit this amazing country but you shouldn’t need any more than these two. Bam! How do you feel now? Feeling silly? Ready to trust me? Huh? Huh?

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 ...
