Be carfeful of large man eating frogs that protect the castle!!!!!!!!!!!!They're hungry! They love tourists heads as you can see from the photo!This is the most dangerous thing you'll find in Slovenia!
You would have thought having just driven through Italy (especially Naples & Rome!!) we would be used to crazy driving. Apparantly not................ Keep your sense's with you whilst driving around Slovinia. In 1 day we saw the result of 3 seperate road crashes, which had obviously not long occured!!
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!
The phone number for emergencies in Slovenija is 112 and everyone has the right for the medical treatment, wheather it is free or not. Well, it`s not actually a warning, but before you come over, check at your health ministry how the medical case payment is arranged.
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.
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.
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.
For hikers who would be on some serious mountain climbing excursions around Slovenia, be alert !Bring the usual stuffs that you know how to get you out of troubles !For some not so serious hikers, like me for example...bring a good map & a good compass,...some mineral waters...Just in case you are stucked somewhere in the middle of the woods, relax, find your way out slowly... & do get out of the woodsSome woods might have wild animals ...so do be informed on the forests or hiking trails that you want to chart yourself in ! !
Right ! For black people & Asians, be ready to be stared at by the Slovenian kids !No, of course no danger whatsoever...Just a reminder that people are always curious about our skin colours anyway...especially if we are coming from a far place !...Just be jovial & smile back...although some kids might make 'eyes' at you !...
Travelling in Slovenia is fun because of the ruralness that you can see all over this beautiful country !If you have your own tranports it would be much excellent to explore Sovenia...If not then like me, you have to rely on public transports from one place to another...Most of the times, especially in the rural towns in Slovenia, the buses are scarce & trains are even more scarce...You could take a taxi say to reach Predjama Castle or even Smlednik...but you would have to pay extra more !Well, like I have also mentioned hitch-hiking is almost the best way to move from one place to another...Just take the usual precautions.

Q: My husband and I are planning two nights in July - is it better to base ourselves In Bled or Bohinj, or do one night in each?
A: Personally I liked Bohinj more mainly because it's more remote & natural. You can wander through the woods and discover Slap Savica, by crossing wooden bridges, climbing...
