Well. As shaky said beautiful journey. Now the adventure really starts!
Firstly we got off at our stop. Much like the others. Not a house in sight. A quick run across some train tracks and onto the "platform". Now me n shakes don't read Slovenian but I quickly found the sign for exit. Bearing in mind it is pitch black and it has started to rain at this point.
I approached a taxi driver and asked if he could take us into Bled. I quickly found out he was a german taxi driver on holiday. Ooops. That's it then. Into the only other thing with lights on. A bar!! Well we found the centre of jezero. With two of the local hillbillies and a local train driver well sloshed chatting up the barmaid. She ordered us a taxi and insisted that we stayed in the pub out of the rain. She spoke perfect English, Slovenian to the locals and I think she was actually Italian.
We only waited for about 10 minutes, by which time hill and Billy had driven home and the other guy had gone back to his job on the railway. The taxi driver was pleasant enough carrying our bags and showing us that his taxi was clean and smelt nice.
Then.......... Nice taxi man dropped us outside of a big scary house. It's like a set from a Hitchcock film. We were left. Rang the bell and lurch answered. "come in" he said in his thick Slovenian accent. b***** me, I'm in Transylvania. We followed him into his kitchen where he booked us in, then said no more asking us to follow him again. Up the creaking stairs in the dark. "you must be tired" he said. Then he shows us to our room. To be Frank, it's very outdated, it's adjoined to someone elses room (probably his) and it's miles from the toilet. Shaky says he is happy but I think he's just trying to keep me sweet.
Lurch quickly cleaned the bathroom and then went to get us the wifi key. He returned bearing two very large glasses of wine for me n shakes. However I firmly believe that the wine is drugged and lurch will come through the secret door and molest us. Maybe not
All jokes aside, even in the dark, Bled looks amazing and I think I've made my mind up to be married here. Checking out venues tomorrow.
