  To break up my trip as going from Slovenia straight to Germany would be much, although I hadn't realised that there was a train that could take you from Ljubljana to Munich. I found a way of taking the train from Bled to Salzburg as I thought it would be a good idea to see it. I walked from my hostel to the idyllic train station in Bled, the train station had no departure board but I knew I had to get the train to Jesenice.  The wait at the Yugoslav train station in Jesenice felt like ages, yet again, there were no departure boards and I guessed which platform the train would be based on where everyone else was standing. I got on the train and found out that it was actually going to Salzburg directly which was convenient and during the long journey, I couldn't stop looking out the window, looking at the Alps was simply astonishing.  Finally, I arrived in Salzburg and before heading off to my hostel, I grabbed a Maccies for lunch which was significantly more expensive th...

  If you know anything about Slovenia, then you will have heard of Lake Bled, I don't think you can visit Slovenia without seeing it, even just for a day trip. It's really easy to get to Lake Bled from Ljubljana, I headed over to the central bus station and bought a ticket for 7 euros. The bus takes an hour and you will be blessed with some incredible views of the Julian Alps. However, this place isn't perfect, it's quite a big tourist destination, when I told a Slovenian I was heading there, he told me it was just a big tourist destination and it's worth mentioning how pricey this place is. When I got there I went to a Balkan place for some lunch and I had a Balkan patty with chips and a diet coke which came to 18 euros, which is absurd for a lunch. After that, I walked over to Bled castle, a medieval castle atop a hill, overlooking the lake. There is a museum inside and along the castle you can get some enchanting views of green countryside and mountains. Honestly...

  My last day in Italy was spent making sure I got three buses that would take me to Ljubljana, after a day spent walking around Milan, I had realised that I needed to get to the bus station at Bergamo airport, which is a 40 minute bus ride from the city centre of Milan.  In my infinite wisdom, I decided to take the bus to Bergamo at 4PM, when my bus to Verona was at 9PM meaning that I had hours with nothing to do. Bergamo airport was really boring, there wasn't much inside of the airport, but thankfully I had realised that there was a huge shopping centre across the road which was absolutely packed for a Sunday evening. I managed to grab a pizza as my last meal in Italy, but sadly it wasn't to the Italian standard. Eventually, my bus came and then 2 hours later I was left in the middle of nowhere in Verona at eleven o'clock at night, I wasn't sure that my bus would come here as it was in the middle of nowhere, a strange man tried to have a conversation with me in Itali...
