sooo!
my first day in ljublijana was a little bit crazy just because of how i got into the city..
but after my nap and typinh my blog i headed out and mosied thru the city took pictures and got a feel for things! it didnt take long in ljublijana to get a feel for things, matter a fact this is the first city that i just havnt used the map in!
the map makes the city seem rediculously confusing, but when you have a picture memory like me! ha ha its super easy! jk but really i never felt lost and actually always felt quite comfortable no matter what the time or place!
i hiked up to the top of the castle which my head phones in and wow that was a cool hike! it made me miss hiking and when i think of hiking i think of my buddy duke! so duke if your reading my blogs i miss you and i promise were gonna go on a BIG hike when i get home!
When i got to the top it was just starting to get dark, which made the view even better!!
when i couldnt see anything but the city lights i thought it would be a good time to start heading down for a beer or something!
i had a beer at a really cozy out door pattio bar and typed some emails so they would be ready to send later!
I went back and got me a good night sleep! i figured out after traveling for two months that it is for sure a good idea to sleep for ten hours if you get the chance, becuase you never know when that next never ending party phase is gonna hit.. ha ha like paris!
theres not many people in the hostel im staying at.. which can be a good thing but also a boaring thing..
i woke up came down made some istant coffee, which im actually starting to like.. ha ha i need some purple bean!!
and the ONE AND ONLY PURPLE BEAN IS ROUGHLY 6,500 MILES WEST OF HERE...
i started talking to this couple from dresded and they were funny ha ha the wife was from japan so she was shy.. and then the girls came down that were staying in my room and sat down for some breakfast and wernt saying much.. so i was like so hows life in sweden! it got really quiet.. and nobody said anything.. so i was like it cant be that boaring, and there like oh us.. we told you that were from switzerland its ok a lot of americans confuse that which i cant understand.. lol.. oh well excuse me i was a little out of it when you told me that at after my three trains rides a and three hour bus ride later.. so hows life in switzerland!
they were kinda to them self..either that or they hated me, i never hung out with them once..
but the second day was mellow as well, but was fun because i brought my sticks!! i love my juggeling sticks and the looks you get from people! ha ha there either impressed, or wandering what is wrong with kid running with those "things" in his hand.
thats my exercise! a nice jog to the center while spinning my sticks to a good song!
so when i got to the center i just started havin a little fun throwing them way up practing some new moves, and a few people started crowding around! ha ha the center gets busy during the day and i got scared and packed up.. i dont know if i could do it for money.. there for fun not for show!
any ways i walked down the river passed all the outside bars and it was nice! i went to a part of town i hadnt been to yet and saw the roman wall! The roman wall was pretty dam cool! i got a picture of me spinning my sticks at the top of the giant prymid in the middle of it!
but there were people chillin on top of the wall cause its green grass and about six or seven feet wide!
slovenians are truely some of the most chill, friendly, laid back people i have met! really!
after the wall i walked to a super market and bought some cheese bread ham and cream cheese! mmmm sandwhich time!
it was funny cause i bought a crossant but it looked a little differnt then your average crossant so i asked the lady if it would be good for a sandwhich! ha ha she shook her head yes but didnt really understand i dont think...
when i got to the river to chill out and have my lunch i ripped the crossant open to make a sandwhich and it was filled with apricot jelly..
it called for an interesting mix thats for sure! ha ha but wasnt too bad.. the cheese bread with the ham and cream cheese after was perfect!
at this point i started feeling a little bit board.. i felt i have seen everything and didnt have many people to hang out with.. so i just kept walking and found a bar on a big patch of lawn so i sat for a hieneken with a lime! i randomly checked if there was wi fi and sure enough i was connected! it was cool to have a beer outside in the beuatifle day with internet access! i started chatting with chopper ha ha the black guy that worked at peace and love! sent some random messages and finished my beer and was on my way! hmmmmm what to do next?
thought about another hike to the castle but didnt end up doing that becuase i was really thirsty! so being on a budget i was wuick to think that the hostel has free water! so i was headed there! i walked by the modern art museum which seemed really cool but not exaclty worth paying to go in.. so i kept walking, not in the direction of my hostel cause i wanted to check out this big park! i juggled my way thru quite a bit of it and noticed some people that had put a strap between two trees and were tight rope walking! i walked up and starting talking with them but there english wasnt all that great so i let them get back to what they were doing!
but i got a picture of them before i walked up soo i will never forget the random tight rope walkers in the park ha ha!
theres parks inside of the park! its soo cool every one is just soo happy lovin the day walking there dogs or with there kids and a stroller!
ljublijana is kind of like amsterdam there bike lanes for the many people that ride bikes, theres a river with many bridges, and i often smell pot when i cill by the main part of the river! except theres a big difference slovenians respect tourist, and each other! i hung out with some locals and they were soooooo cool! all get to that tho!
any ways after the park i was past due for some water so i went back to the hostel had some water and hopped on face book and checked emails!
when i was on face book jesse minor boge sent me a message and it was cool cause i hadnt been able to talk to him much! so we tried skype on the copmuter i was using and i could see him and my other buddy nic which was funny lol, but there was no noise.. so we typed back and forth and laughed of course! ha ha i wanted to talk so i tried these head phones that the hostel had and i got it to were they could here me but i could here them. ha ha that was intersting talking to them seeing them but not being able to here them! i couldnt do that any more so i called on my itouch were we could talk but not see each other!
it was really cool catchin up with two of my closest buddies! it was moring at the time for them so we ended the conversation after about an hour so they could get on with there day and i could maybe find something to do in ljublijana during the night! during the week things are pretty mellow here.. but its ok i dont have to be getting hammered and blowing money! i sent a message to a girl named anna on couchsurfers to hang out with here and after that i ended up going to the super market and getting some random cheap stuff for dinner id save money and have something to do! i got a bag of twisted noodles, can of mixed vegies, can of mushrooms, a can of tomato sauce, and an onion!
i was planning on making it into two portions but that didnt work because i made way to much so just ended up making it all and luckily i had some plastic bags to save the rest! it turned out pretty good! for 5 euros i can eat three times im happy!
after dinner i was stuffed and thought hey why not another good night sleep!
went to bed slept well!
I woke up around 8 30 got a shower! by the way i love the showers here! just thought you should know that!
i got a message from my momma! and emailed her back, then got another message saying lets skype and i said hell yea! i was excited because it worked really good with my buddies and the last time my mom and i skyped was in prauge with a bad connection.. but for some reason it didnt work out.. she wasnt on i emailed a couple times and no responce..
What happend momma? did you fall back asleep, if so i cant blame you it was early for you..
but i also got an email back from anna and we planned to meet at 9 pm by the triple bridge!
i went down to the lobby had my instant coffee amd some breakfast and met a guy named aliosha! he was a really cool guy! he gave me his number and email incase i needed anything and we were gonna try and meet for a beer!
hes from here and was doing some advertising for the hostel!
he had to head out so i finished up what i was doing and decided that today instead of just walking around.. im gonna rent a bike for five euros!! hell yea!
i hopped on my bike and headed to the main train station to get a reservation to take the train to florence after my stay at lake bled! which im headed to today!!
i ended up booking a train for monday at 2 28 am.. ha ha i was like really thats my option.. ok all take it!!!
so im at the lake tonight and tomorrow then most likely wont get a room on sunday.. cause whats the point?
after i reserved my train tick i had something happen to me that is absolutly un called for and very well may have scared me for life..
warning this is kinda graphic and grose and gay and stupid and omg i cant believe it even happened but any ways im gonna go ahead and tell you..
so when i was booking my ticket this old man was very nice and kinda made his way right up to the window and i stepped back and let him go.. what ever im not in a hurry. so he speaks to the lady in slovenian gets his answer and walks by me pats me on the back and walks out.
so the lady finishes with me i got my reservation and i head out, and as im walking out the old man stops me and basically does sign language of would you like a drink! he speaks no english what so ever! none! so i nodded my head sure man all have a drink with you lol why not! guessing hes gonna pay for it i still pull out my wallet and what not, but he did pay for it!
so we sit down and it was kind of awkward.. we CANT talk to each other, so i pulled out my camera and started showing him pictures.. idk..
ps i got a picture with this very old man...
he kept taking his beer and filling my glass up... i was ok.. if your trying to get me drunk its gonna take a lot more than my pint and have of yours..
anyways he goes out side for a ciggarette and says he points and starts walking.. ok so im walking slowly with him.. like very slowly! and he kinda gives my hand a squeeze, i was ok this guys probably old and lonley and really appreciates my company even if i cant talk to him so im kinda like holding this old mans hand and walking with him.. of course i dont know where hes walking to and of course im not worried about it cause hes so old!
but this is the punch line he goes to the bathroom and keeps looking at me wierd?
i said me no have to go and made it clear that i didnt have to pee! so im buy the sinks you know giving him his privacy and he taps me on the shoulder with one hand and has his dick in the other.. i was the uhhh wtf! and he smiled and started doing the jack off motion!! OMG OMG OMG is this really happening WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
I told him NO!! and he grabbed my hand and tried to pull it down towards his ...
i pulled away and said im leaving! so i litteraly walked out at a fast as i could!
and knew there no possible way he would ever catch me and i was just in awww like what the hell was that!
you think you can buy ma a beer walk me to the bathroom pull out your junk and ask for a hand job!
im stopping this coversation cause i honestly dont even like talking about!
soooooooooo
when i found got my bike and tried to not let and 80 year old mans penis ruin my day i just rode towards the center!
the center is just poeple mosing around and i started to get tired!
and then started thinking why do i feel the on beer and some of his beer that i drank? i know i just had cereral this morning but this isnt right..
ha ha did i get rufied by this old gay man?
any way i went and ate something and headed towards the main part of the river where people hang out!
and i layed there for a while in the nice sun and just chilled! when i got up i noticed these two kids drinking a beer, so i went up started some conversation and asked them where i could get some beer close by!
and they ended up giving me a beer to drink! i was like right on, they were locals! the locals i was talking about earlier in my blog!
all of a sudden two more kids show up and i introduced my self and we just got to chatting!
this one kid was FUNNY! here was clearly the "leader" of the group or the guy that waould take over any table or conversation.. you know.
he randomly starts talking to this girl in slovenian lol and you can tell he doesnt know here! and then i hear my name amongst all the slovenian talk! ha ha and the other three boys start laughing and after like three minutes of them talking the girl gets up and comes over! ha ha he gives the girl some money and she leaves..
then i see here walking back with a gallon of ice cream and two liters of soda! i was like wtf!
and asked the kid do you know her? hes like no man im just very communicative or maybe just very cute ha ha no only kidding!
i didnt know what to say honestly, the girl just went back and sat next to her friend.
and he said so zack a girl would do that for you in america? and i was like well maybe some girls but know its not exactly common for a guy to ask a random girl sitting with her friend to grab a gallon of ice cream and coke from the nearest store ha ha. he said ok i see.. that is a problem my friend!
i said yea thats somethin all have to work on! ha ha
then he goes zack why are you not eating my ice cream? and i was like well i didnt exactly wanna just dig in with out asking or being offered. and he goes zack let me teach you something when dis bowl opens you must attack! or else no one is gonna leave any for you, ok! and i was well shit wheres my spoon? you have one in your lap i give you one already!
ha ha ok thanks man! so we all devoured this ice cream and shared the coke!
any ways i ended up hanging out with these kids for a couple hours! i locked my bike to a bridge and we drove up to the castle which was cool! They all got in back so i could sit up front, then we headed to a locals spot which was a small house boat that was being worked on and we played some foosball! wow i thought the brazilians were good! no.. these kids can play foosball!! it was unreal! and then the busted out a chess board! there very good at that as well!
the guy said now zack tell me what you think the chances are of us meeting a 19 year old american boy in slovenia and then hanging out with him? i was like well im sure you get your fair share of tourist, right? and he said wrong it is impossible! ha ha! in my life i never thought this would happen!
hes just crazy and hes from serbia!
then we ended up getting drunk all of us besided the crazy one that drove! and then the other three had to go so i went and ate with the crazy one and he dropped me off my bike!
i went back to the hostel and toltally forgot about my nine o clock meeting time with ana! oh shit!
well i didnt make it so i typed here a sorry letter and asked if we could rescedule for today! everything was good and a matter a fact i have about 40 minutes to get packed showerd and down to meet her! i cant not show up twice! thats not ok!
and i want good references on my couch surfer page not bad ones! like that ass hole stood me up twice!
gotta go! then im off the the lake! get lost in the mountians for two days!
miss you guys!!
