Ljubljana

In Ljubljana now (pronounced Lube-li-ana as I learned on the train yesterday). From Berlin I hit Krakow (not really a fan, went mostly for Auschwitz), Prague (fun and gorgeous), Vienna (very, very cultural), and now here. I'm thinking of making a change to my generally planned route, but we'll see if it happens. That's the benefit of backpacking, that I can decide to come to Slovenia or wherever on a whim. I'm looking forward to doing the same in Argetina-Chile-Uruguay next year.

I'm a little worried about the kidnapping of Europeans in Egypt, but hopefully I'm not going to that part and will therefore be safer (fingers crossed). Well, at any rate, I'm not going there now. It doesn't make the tour group seem neccessarily safer, either. I'll miss the relative security of Europe.
