From Italy to Slovenia and back

We were following the Planica ski jumping competition yesterday which was Austrian show as expected. Matti Hautamäki from Finland played a small supporting role but was left to 4th place.


After the jumps we had a nice evening at Kranjska (We are staying in Livada guesthouse, which seems to be quite ok.) After the competition there was an overwhelming need for a transportation back to KG so we decided to get cheated by a Ljubljana taxi driver who was more than happy to separate us from unhealthy amount of money for 5 km ride. On the way to our hotel we made a pit stop at Papa Joe's where my friend offered some traditional finnish music (Popeda, Erotomania) for the Europeans to enjoy. And needless to say, it was a huge hit. Then a quick change at the hotel before joining the national team of our jumpers at a local pizzeria. Somehow our sportmen did not respond to my friends inquiries and comments about their performance and future ambitions but were kind enough to leave immediately and leave the table for us. Following morning we headed to Ljubljana for Olympia football game. On the way we made two stops. One at the beautiful Bohinj lake and another in Bled (Grill restaurant - very good Cevapcici) for lunch.


Later we saw the game in Ljubljana but I have to say that the level of the play was little bit of a disappointment. Then we had dinner in Ljubljana - thanks to Sini - before heading back for KG for an early start back to Italy tomorrow.
