Douglas Brown's Travels
A lazy start to the day with a late breakfast at our hotel. Weather was once again very overcast but dry. So I headed to the city on the bus, you see so much more of the city outskirts on the bus. Coffee was the first order of the day so I found a quiet little cafe/bar on the edge of the river. I enjoyed two cups of coffee while listening to gentle music and watching the sparrows dart around. I then wanted around the city investigating all the quiet little side streets and lanes off the main thorough fares. The street entertainers were out again so I spent some time watching them. I discovered more statues and parks I had not seen the before and walked across the bridge with all the padlocks placed there by tourists. It was then time for lunch so I found a resturant and ordered Kransky sausage, sour krout and mash. The weather was starting to feel like rain so I decided to return by bus to my hotel. On returning to the hotel I discovered that the tour group which leaves the day before us was having their pre ride briefing. They are on the "Alps Adventure". Once their briefing was finished they were taken by taxis to pick up their bikes and have a short familiarisation ride. No sooner had the taxis left the driveway than the heavens opened up and it started to rain. They will get a good initiating with their bikes in the rain. While I waited for them to return I enjoyed two pints of the local dark ale. I am getting restless to get on the bike and I am very glad that our briefing and bike collection is tomorrow. I have enjoyed very much discovering the magic of Ljubjiana, but it is now time to ride.
