Lynnae here. We ate breakfast, packed up, said good-bye to the Adriatic Sea and walked down the steep hill to the bus station. [Much easier going back to the bus station than trudging up it with our luggage.]
Last view of the ocean
We took the bus back to Ljubljana had a lengthy layover at the train/bus station where we ate lunch. Then we took another bus toward Kranjska Gora on the edge of the Triglav National Park. We drove through some beautiful countryside.
Views on the way to Kranjska Gora
We arrived in Kranjska Gora early evening. We walked to our Bed & Breakfast, Brezov Gaj. The reviews had stated that the proprietors spoke English. This was not quite true. However, eventually we were checked in.
[Here is how it happened. After I accidentally got us off at one bus stop too early, we walked about a mile to the bed and breakfast and I rang the doorbell. A gruff-looking man in his forties wearing Crocs answered, and after a series of unhelpful phrases uttered in our respective native languages, he said “RECEPTION?!?!” “Yes, Yes!” I replied, and we entered the home. Without a word, he took a key from a wall display and opened our room for us. He then said “Documents!” Huh? “Passport!” Now I knew. Foreigners in Slovenia are required to register with the local police, and hotels do this for you. I gave him our passports and he went to the back office momentarily. Upon his return I confirmed via holding up five fingers and saying “Five dan?‘” that we had a five night reservation, and the deal was done.]
We walked the short distance to main street and picked up a number of maps and other information from the tourist center. We also stocked up at the Mercator. After taking our goods back to our room and consulting TripAdvisor, we headed off to Kranjska Gora’s number one restaurant. [Out of five rated restaurants]
As was everything in the small town, Gostilna Pri Martinu was easy to find. The food was good, the service okay and the portions were gargantuan.
After dinner, we enjoyed what was left of the sunshine by walking down to the river and walking around a while. It was nice to stretch our legs a while. We met a runaway dog and waved at the owner in pursuit.
We walked back to the B & B and discussed plans for tomorrow before turning in.
