Observations on the train journey to Ljubljana

I have arrived, and am on the lovely free WLAN in the lovely hostel, in an apartment of a really old house bang in the centre of town! I will venture forth soon and find fudz, but some fun things from the journey first:

  • the Austrians like really odd roofs -- low  round ones, or very, very sharply steep ones; by the same token, there seems to be a fashion for really brightly colourful houses! Wow that blue!
  • they offer some strange services -- I saw a sign for 'Self-Sevice Lance Washing' from the train
  • ditto, a car dealership called Tuppinger -- I do really not wish to imagine any possible connection between cars and sheep-shagging!
  • when we were waiting in Villach to have our carriages connected to the train to Ljubljana (which goes on to Zagreb, which is properly Balkan), my MP3 player changed from 'Gladiator' to 'Chocolat' all of a sudden. I srota did a double-take on that

So, and now I am off roaming the city a bit and finding fudz -- back later, to post daily happiness part 7. But I wouldn't praise the day before the evening...
