I had another early morning to board my train from Vienna to Ljubljana- 6 hours. I passed out for half of the ride so it wasn’t awful, and I got to Ljubljana around 2pm.

The hostel was, thankfully, only about a 7 min walk from the train station. The hostel I am staying at- Hostel Celica- was an old prison! It is super cool and the rooms and facilities are super nice, you never would’ve known!

I took a shower, unpacked my things, and headed out to get some food. I got a bowl from “Veganista” which was a vegan restaurant right by my hostel! My bowl had red cabbage, edamame, shiitake mushrooms, cucumber, tofu, rice noodles, and a peanut ginger dressing!

After this, I walked around Ljubljana a little bit and went to a history museum since i really don’t know anything about Slovenia. It wasn’t a very good museum though, and I was very tired and sick so I left after only 45 minutes, embarrassed from having a coughing attack in the middle of the silent exhibition.

I walked through the beautiful Tivoli gardens before getting an ice cream and eating it in the city center square. Even though it was cold, this was a happy moment.

I became very exhausted and decided it would be best to rest up tonight instead of overworking myself, so I headed back to the hostel around 6. I had some tea and read. Haven’t met any roommates except one from California, but I’m pretty sure they’re all like 30 year old men, so maybe I won’t be as successful with friendships in this hostel.

I passed out around 6 in perpetration for yet another early morning tomorrow!
