Dober Dan.

It seems that I really can’t get enough of this place and I am now back (for the 3rd time) in the every friendly Slovenia. This time I am in Maribor in the north, but it has not failed to impress. In fact I could hardly be happier. My “winging it” has landed me in the most amazing room I have ever stayed in in my entire life. I have a double bed with silk covers, en-suite with array of shampoos and towels, 2 desks with trendy lamps, a radio and a phone. It was almost too much for me to cope with and for a grand total of 16 pounds. Don’t worry I have plenty of photographic evidence.

Strangely though it is off season here and so not much is happening. Tomorrow Im off to Zagreb then back to Luljana for a week or so.

Since I last managed to write I have been making the most of my time and I have:

Spent a day at the Aushwitz concentration camp which was very educational somthing that will stay with me for a long long time.

Spent a day 125 meters underground in part of a massive Polish salt mine. The place is 700 years old, huge and comes complete with underground monestaries and concert halls – all carved out of salt.

Spent 4 days in the mountain town of Zakopone in the Polish Tatra mountains. However due to bad hangovers and even worse weather I didnt even see one mountain. I’d imagen this makes me one of a very few Englishmen who have travelled all that way to do – absolutely nothing. A title I am quite proud of.

Been back to Krakow and…

Spent an amazing two days in Vienna watching open air theater and looking around the city. However it’s the kind of place where money just seems to evaporate every time you move – so I didn’t hang around.

I am going to head for Zagreb in Croatia tomorrow and then back to my favorite city of all – Lubljana where, I will probably settle down for a few weeks.

Eddy.

PS Just to make you all feel better it has been raining most evenings for the last week or so.

PPS – If your ever here in Maribor and you are in a hurry don’t wait for the traffic lights to cross the road. Seriously – I grew a beard today crossing 3 roads.
