My grandparents emigrated to US from Slovenia in early 1900's and it has been my dream to visit and stay long enough to get a "feel" for this country. I have several questions I hope you all can help with.
1.My husband and I would like to travel during shoulder season to help keep costs doable. When IS shoulder season in Slovenia?
2. Where should we go and what should we see? We will be visiting two small towns near Lubj. where my grandparents were born, so other than that, what do you suggest?
3. We would like to travel by public transport (train, etc.) but could and would rent a car for part of the trip. How easy is it to drive in Slovenia? Are roads well marked? We would bring our GPS. Are there areas we could do by train and then do more off the beaten track places by car?
4.Lastly, and this is a very important question for us: When we travel to western Europe, we usually plan an entrance and exit city, with hotel reservations for the first and last nights, and then do the rest of the trip without reservations. We stay in one place until we want to move on and are not forced to leave an area earlier than we'd like or forced to stay longer. We just scout hotels when we arrive in the next city or town. Usually, we have pretty good luck with this but have had some hiccups along the way. Is this something we could do in Slovenia? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. Judy
