Lake Bohinj to Postojna - Monday

Travel day.  We hate to leave this beautiful lake but we only have 8 days left and things to see.

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.
