6/10/2008 This morning I woke up at 9.30am. I’d slept the whole night through, but that was down to the drink the night before! So I didn’t make it for breakfast. I went to the supermarket and bought food for brunch. I called to Frank and Margaret’s room to see how they were feeling, as… Read more »

5/10/2008 As it was a Sunday, it was a good time to go to Bohinj. It was a beautiful clear day in Bled and I was hoping it would be the same in Bohinj, so I could carry on to Vogel and take the ski lift to the top. Vogel is a ski resort, with… Read more »
4/10/2008 I was awake at 8.10am and went down to breakfast. Man, it was really busy, they even ran out of bread! The plan was to go to Postojna Caves, as it was pouring down with rain. A good day to be underground. So I took the 9.30am bus to Ljubljana. When I got to… Read more »

11/3/2011 The alarm went off at 6.30am this morning. I had packed practically everything last night. I took one last walk around Svolvaer but first had to wait for the really heavy snow to ease off a bit. My God, I’ve never seen it so bad. I was sitting in the conservatory, looking out the… Read more »
10/3/2011 It was bright and sunny this morning when I got up….for all of about 15 minutes! So I decided I’d try and get to Skrova. Skrova, which is about 20 minutes by ferry from Svolvaer, offers the best views of the Lofoten Wall, the line of mountains that stretch nearly the whole length of… Read more »
