Change of plans, rather than cycle on to Celje we decided to spend the day in Ljubljana (havin been rather enamoured with the city the night before). After a sleep-in and breakfast at the best cafe in Ljubljana we caught the funicular up to the castle where the view is spectaular and an exhibition of medieval torture devices turned Anne-Marie's stomach, also her hayfever was getting worse by the minute.
We had a rather special lunch at the Friday food and wine market, then off to the Celje train, it was very hot but we stuck our heads out the window and enjoyed the Slovenian mountains that we were fortunate (or not -Reuben) to avoid cycling.
With our funky hostel overbooking due to a hens night/rock band we were relegated (upgraded) to the hotel next door. At diner the waiter took pity on Anne-Marie's itchy eyeballs, we were seated next to a fresh flower pot, and informed us of a 24 hour lekarnar (pharmacist) where claratyne s was available at 11pm, sweet relief was at hand.
