Italy, almost

When the bus to the caves did eventually arrive, on time, it was barely an oversized van and it was only us and one other who go on. It was a free bus provided by the caves, which I suppose is generous, but given it would be 3.5 hours after leaving Ljubljana, I wasn't feeling so grateful. That was to cover not much more then 60km. However I did notice on the map that we were now only 5km from the Italian border. Every 4 years since 2002 we've holidayed in Italy, but didn't do so this year. This will have to do. If we'd had more time I'd be tempted to take a bus across and back.
