We planned to take the train to Postojna because it's more comfortable than the bus. We usually have 4 seats to ourselves on the train -- sometimes with a table between. But when we got to the train station there was a sign (in English, thank goodness) that the train wasn't running to Postojna and we had to take a bus. Déjà vu etc.
When we got to Postojna we noticed the trees looked sick. They were all twisted and bare, and many had fallen. It was like a war zone. The woman at the information center said they had a really bad sleet storm in February that did terrible damage. They were without electricity for 8 days! And that's why the (electric) train isn't running. They are still repairing the lines. We're going to stick to the bus from now on.
We got our room, had a good supper at Cuk Pizzeria and got wet walking home in the rain because for the first time in Slovenia, we went out without an umbrella. Not smart.
