Coffee with cream, sachertorte, schnitzel, and apple strudel - Vienna is not the place to begin a diet!

We have had several stays in rural Slovenia in the past few years. We have found the Slovenians a beautiful race and so friendly. I would say all of the younger people speak excellent English and are extremely intelligent and well educated. We found shopkeepers and cafe' workers all made a huge effort to communicate in English. Even older people did their best. Don't forget Slovenia's history. They are only starting to trust people again, and I'm sure when they get their tourism act to perfection it will be the place to visit. We will certainly be back again.
