No difficulty, the time is bad, it rains at hampering visibility, I also met the fog through the Apennines. I make breakfast in Bologna, and full of gasoline in Mestre. Step along the path near the Shrine of Redipuglia costudisce that the remains of 100,000 soldiers killed in the Great War. These are areas where I have served the military as far back as 1965. Arriving for lunch at Trieste, a snack bar and at an allotment, so far 400 km route

Pass on the border, are in Slovenia first nation on my path.
Arrival in Ljubljana in the afternoon, I notice immediately its famous castle. It's raining, the weather has not left me for the entire trip except for a few stretches of highway. I have another 100 route km = (km tot 500)

SLOVENIA = Member Community

Fà pretty cold about 8 °. I put the search for a hotel, research also too easy, given the presence of many tourist facilities...
I choose what I believe is more economically accessible, a three star.
Had the room and after a shower, come into the restaurant and although only 18, I can have dinner, take advantage.
Relaxed my stomach, I go out and wandering through the center, go into a pub that plays popular music of Slovenia, next to my table, sits a pair of young newlyweds Italians, we know, excited, I speak of their honeymoon, right here undertaken.
They come from a wonderful place, Bled for the accuracy, along the road went through beautiful places, enjoying beautiful views.
They stayed at a hotel spa, which best could not find and hear them, were the three most beautiful days of their lives.

"We felt like the prince and his princess, the hotel employees were full of care for us and other guests smiled and treated us as if we were their relatives.
The days passed in that enchanted castle in the lakeside, we have repaid all the sacrifices we have made, to make a marriage worthy of the name.
You can not imagine the beauty of the place, the morning looking out the window, the view of the lake with the mist of the morning low and the sun rose from the top of the mountains is a spectacle of fairy tale.
We have organized over the honeymoon, we go to live in a small apartment where he will start our life as a couple and when we decide to have children, we change the house with a larger one. "

We listen to so much smiling and happy when you say hello, I wish him with all my heart that the future reserves, many other days of happiness as those that are moving.
Begins to be late, I decide it is time to go to sleep.
