	On the road to Italy Tip Rating:

Road from Slovenia to Italy

by karenincalifornia

In Slovenia, as we got closer to the Italian border, people were driving more and more like Italians. Or maybe they were Italians.

My husband's favorite lane to drive in is the far left lane. Do not ask me why. This was not a smart thing to do in our Zastava as it was puttering down the Autostrada. Other cars are flying along at 200 km/hr. All of a sudden, we'd look in the rear view mirror and see a Maserati just inches from our rear bumper, flashing its headlights and blaring its horn. These other drivers will not simply move to the right lane, but they do expect you, the slower car, to move out of the way.

This is a wise thing to do, if your life has any value to you.

	Warning sign Bohinj Lake Tip Rating:

Bohinjsko Jezero

by dabidc

On my first visit to Ribcev Laz at the east end on Bohinj Lake, I found this sign and at first I thought with so many restrictions why bother to visit the place.

It is precisely because of the restrictions that the lake is such a great place to visit, where the traveller can find a peaceful place to hike, climb, use the lake for boating or just relax and enjoy the sheer beauty of the lake.

	Money matters Tip Rating:

By speedy77 on March 30, 2004

Slovenia Page by speedy77

Make sure we accept your currency The official payment currency here is Slovene Tolar, but one can pay with some foreign currency (Euro, American Dollars,ý) in most of the restaurants, hotels and agencies. In shops and restaurants credit cads (Visa, American Express, Diners, Master Card, Maestro) are also acceptable. Besides, at the Banks (which are usually open from Monday to Friday from 8am to 5 or 6pm, Saturdays from 8am to 12am) you can always change the Travelers Cheques.

	mineral water Donat Mg Tip Rating:

Updated By anaiis on November 25, 2002

be careful with this bottle
label

by anaiis

See this label? If you suffer from constipation (and while travelling this can easily happen, too), this might be the answer to your problem. Works fast, sometimes in minutes so stay close to the facilities you might need after it happens. If you are just fine, try not to drink too much of this mineral water. There were a lot of foreigners complaining to me after they got this water for free as samples, they were not aware of its effects and drank it too much. However, a glass or two might be very helpful to your body and health. Its great for your stomach, too, it can calm burning pain in it (or buy Rupurut tablets in farmacy). This water comes from Rogaska Slatina, known by this healing water since ancient times. Some more info:

	The Correct Clothing Tip Rating:

Updated By Carnation on September 26, 2002

by Carnation

Some sound advice The temperature inside the caves is a constant 11c and can feel quite chilly after spending over an hour down below, so it is advisable to take along with you a jacket, cardigan or sweatshirt. Sturdy shoes are needed as pathways inside the caves are wet, slippery and at times quite bumby and uneven.

	Carefully With Those Cows! Tip Rating:

By anaiis on September 4, 2002

cows near Rasica village

by anaiis

Look at those cows approaching, they are all headed in my direction (and I am not happy about it, see?). They started to be more courrageous lately. So beware. Also do not touch the wire that surrounds them - if you don't want to receive a small electric shock. Sometimes meeting cows can be a problem for hikers and bykers. Do not run, just walk a bit faster. If meeting them in close range is unavoidable, stop and yell at them. They will stop for a moment - use this moment to get outside their reach. Slovenia was also hit by BSE, but we controll our meat very strictly. We are very carnivorous society that's why its not quite simple to be vegetarian here and I would love to be one, IF ... If the sausages weren't so great here in Slovenia, for example...

	Wow! What A Beautiful Flower/Mushroom/Animal! Tip Rating:

By anaiis on September 4, 2002

Slovenia Page by anaiis

flowers are fighting rock!

by anaiis

Please, keep the nature intact. Do not pick up flowers. Do not destroy mushrooms, even if you know they are poisonous! They are important part of nature balance. Do not yell in forrests, pick up your trash. Leave the place the same as it was before you stopped there. Do not follow the temptation to leave everything what you have used and brought here in the mountains - it has to get down also! Even if there is the mountain cottage - try to take the trash with you.

	The water Tip Rating:

By silver_puma on June 11, 2004

Slovenia Page by silver_puma

We were told by loads of people that it would be safe to drink the water whilst we were here. Whilst I drank the tap water without a problem, my travelling companiion ended up with (how shall I put it delicately?) a 'loose' bottom. When we went to the chemist ('Lakarna' - of which there are several in the town btw), the lady (who thankfully spoke good English) gave her some tablets and told her that travellers should alwats drink bottled water as tap water can often disagree with people. She seemed to imply that quite a few people had had a similar problem!
