Slovenia Day 7

After packing up and checking out, headed off to the Modern Galerija Ljubljana, the Slovenian Modern Art Museum. The museum is housed a in a pretty ugly building and the exhibits were kind of mysterious but it was good to see what Slovenian art was like! The main exhibition was a retrospective on Peter Weibel, who had some multi-media displays, moaning rocks and videoes of him getting blood drawn from his arm. Might have meant a bit more if I was Slovenian!

Had a wander around the city - there was some kind of bee festival at Stari Grad with some Slovenian musicians with giant wooden saxophones. So I bought some Slovenian honey!

Headed off to Ljubljana Airport with enough time to check it, sit in the sun and eat a sandwich and an icecream and drink a beer, as well as get a bit sunburnt. Also had a chat with an Australian woman who had been on the bus with me from Bled to Ljubljana.

Arrived back in London to find out that the Stanstead Express wasn't working, but they were charging the same ridiculous amount (£13.40 Stanstead to Tottenham Hale) for a replacement bus service!
