Said a sad farewell to Stella and Tilley and then the three of us drove into the capitol Ljubljana where we parked right downtown and we each spent a couple of hours looking around…this is a very peaceful city, very clean with friendly people!!!
We met back at the car and then Janet and Malc drove me to the bus station where we said goodbye we have travelled really well together and over three weeks of good laughs, bonding and seeing incredible vistas all memories that will stay with me……Thanks J & M please have a safe journey home although however you are going to make it without me navigating for you!!!!! See I did not mention scrabble!!!!
So here I am where do I go???
I had done lots of research and had picked three places I could get a bus to depending on the time table and the most convenient was to the place that I really wanted to go to Rovinj in Croatia….there was a bus leaving at 1.45pm and it would arrive at 7pm..perfect for me and it cost 22 Euros!!!
Now this money is getting so confusing for me so here it is….
20 Canadian dollars is 16Euro so work it out from there except now I am in Croatia they have their own currency the Kuna
so now we have 1 Canadian dollar is about 6 Kuna’s…..got it???
The bus ride was perfect I had the whole back 5 seats to myself…
The bus stopped about every hour for a few minutes to pick up people and to have a stretch…..after about 2 hours I crossed into my 10th Country this trip and the first time I had to show and get my passport stamped.
In these Eastern countries a lot of people usually older people rent out rooms in their homes and as I was coming into town I saw some of these adverts…so after getting off the bus I walked maybe 5 minutes and my first stop there was no room but the man suggested I go across the street and sure enough I have a room!!!!!
It is perfect 5 minutes from the bus and the sea front….a very lovely clean small bedroom with a great front terrace with chairs and a table and a line to hang my clothes…I share a fridge and a spotlessly clean bathroom with one other room……I have even pegged into the owner’s Internet.
This is where I am writing the blog a lovely cool breeze and did I mention the price?? 30 Euros a night which we all know is about 38 Canadian dollars!!!
I went to the supermarket and stocked up on drinks milk and juice and yogurt and fruit!!
I have booked for 5 nights as I want to explore on foot for a couple of days the I shall rent a car for 24 hours to go to the country to see some villages I have read about..so as you can see I am very happy and all I miss is that cuppa tea!!!!!
Hi Daniela and Paola!!!!
