Traveling to Slovenia
I am travelling to Slovenia with my better half at the end of the month. Any tips on the best places to see within only five days? I know it is a small country, but there seems like so much to do from all of my reading. Also, any hotel suggestions would be appreciated ... thanks.

Go to Lake Bled! I was there about four years ago and it is one of the most gorgeous little towns in Europe, and totally undiscovered. There is a small island in the middle of the lake with a little faux castle on it, and the alpine mountains form an incredible back drop. It's about a half hour cab ride from the airport. I stayed at the Grand Hotel Toplice, sort of faded elegance with great balconies on to the lake. I would go back in a heartbeat. Great fish restaurants around the lake too. We visited there on the recommendation of a friend who was posted to the US Embassy in Slovenia.

If you like to do outdoorsy things, check out www.humanfish.com. This is a Slovene owned adventure travel outfit. I took a one day rafting trip with them last August and had a blast! I found them at a little kiosk in Bled.

Will be there for 6 days in Oct. Plan to do 2 nites in Ljubljana, 2 in the Lakes area, and 2 on the coast. It looks fascinating--cannot wait. The only negative is car rental return into Italy--will probably just drop car and train to Venice from Trieste.
