Dublin For Bloomsday

This was our first trip to Dublin, friendliest of cities! Two of us went in June 1999, flying with Ryanair from Bristol, we were there in 40 minutes - great view of Dublin Bay as we came in! We treated ourselves to a superb old hotel called Buswells, very central, great full Irish breakfasts and old world charm. They have their own website, www.quinnhotels.com/buswells.html , but it's worth checking a few others for special offers. Bewley's Coffee House in Grafton Street is an Irish institution and a must see. Check out the stained glass windows. The cakes are fantastic too! Take the open-top bus tour, worth every penny to see all the sights. Another thing all the tourists do is have their picture taken with Molly Malone's statue, what a buxom girl she was! When we were there it was the annual Bloomsday Celebration. This takes place on June 16th and is a celebration of James Joyce and his book Ulysses.

Super Slovenia

We have just returned from a holiday in Slovenia. What a fantastic country! Hot sunshine, towering mountains, pretty villages, friendly people, good food. What more could you ask for? This our second holiday in Slovenia, the first one was to Lake Bled, followed by Piran, on the coast. This time we flew into Maribor, (near the Austrian border) with Ryanair for 2p, yes that's right 2p, no taxes or anything extra! http://www.ryanair.com/ We stayed in the Pohorje mountain area, at Aparthotel Pohorje, which was a 20 minute drive up the mountain. http://www.aparthotel-pohorje.com/ . A lovely place, I would recommend it to anyone. I think it is mainly a ski hotel during the winter, it was very quiet when we were there. However, the apartment was fine, lovely comfy beds. We also booked half-board at the hotel, and the food was fantastic. It said in our guide book that it was the best place to eat in the area, and they were right. Compliments to the chef! The staff were also very friendly...
