Robin, for the first week we stayed here and hiked and ATE and DRANK unlimited food and wine.

We spent several more days at the quieter Lake Bohinj before heading back to Paris for a whirlwind day and a half. We managed to get off the Metro as the Gay Pride parade was passing, LOL!
Slovenia reminded me a lot of Austria, except it's cheaper! The transportation system wasn't great, but driving was easy. The people are wonderful, scenery majestic and everyone knew English.
