There is a huge amount of posting necessary to explain how I’ve got from Cardiff for birthday weekend one to Ljubljana for birthday weekend two. It involved a trip to Luton, then a flight to Rome, a train to Orte, a train to Rimini, a train to Bologna, a train to Venice, a train to Trieste and a coach to Ljubljana. But, more on that another time (but hopefully this week) as I have a lot to post about.
Because, I need to switch to more immediate posting from this weekend as Bev (her face neatly blurred from Steve’s photo), Susanna and Steve are flying into Trieste this morning. They then get the same coach service that I got yesterday evening to get to Ljubljana for around 15:30 today. They’ve had a slight delay at Trieste Airport due to the new EU entry system, but they’re through and I think they’re currently on a bus to Trieste.
I, on the other hand, have had breakfast at the hotel and am waiting patiently for the others to arrive into the city. It’s a little cold at the moment, but it’s not quite cold enough to snow, so all is well. Susanna likes hot weather so she’ll likely be slightly put out about the temperature here, but she’s not demanding like Bev so won’t complain for long.
I’m now having lunch at this nice little cafe I’ve found in the centre of Ljubljana called McDonald’s. Bev won’t eat at McDonald’s due to her chicken McNuggets addiction, so I have to visit this now before she arrives.
I’m expecting history, beer, gossip and adventure from this weekend….. What could possibly go wrong?
