Books, etc

With a day planned locally in Ljubljana we finally got to have a little lie in, which translates to about 8.30am. We took our time and then walked slowly into the old centre, which is only about 10 minutes away. However we found ourselves distracted by a road of clothes and book shops, taking it in turn to browse around. I like to buy poetry in each country I've been, in the native language and found two booksellers with great enthusiasm about Slovenian poetry. So much so that I ended up buying two books, one of which was beautiful but quite expensive. I felt I had to reward their helpful advice. We later discovered that Ljubljana has book shops everywhere and in far greater frequently than London. I spoke to one owner who said that Ljubljana is a bit behind the Internet boom in bookselling but they still fear it is coming.
