Island

The island at the centre of the lake is probably the most photographed place in this country and you can see why. It changes as you walk the circumference of the lake and so never bores, although perhaps it was a little boring for Katarina and maybe the walk is more suited to the slightly older generation, not that the lake wasn't filled with plenty of young holidaymakers. Eventually we completed the walk and collapsed at a pizzeria where we had enormous pizzas that, unusual for me, I couldn't finish. Waiting for bus with a group of young English and Irish tourists we were approached by dodgy taxi drivers touting cheap drives back to Ljubljana. The Irish guys went for it but we held on with two young English women despite the persistence of one driver. Eventually on the bus we were treated to an equally unusual driver who wanted to entertain his passengers with jokes as he drove, knowing his bus was full of tourists. Back at the hotel neither of us could stay awake long.
