The travel saga continues, as my open ended trip needs to come to an end for various reasons including money, time, and "work". And if you find yourself in Slovenia and happy like a kid in a candy store, the hard part is leaving. No, not because Amsterdam is a bad place to come back to, it is certainly not that... the bigger problem are the flights!

More and more these days students and locals alike will brag about the lowcost airlines that can get you to odd little vacation corners of the world. But it just so happens, that they can't always get you to the great places, and Ljubljana is one of those.

So how to get out of there became the question last night. And although I love the trains.. the long haul, almost 2 day trip via Munich, would have proven way to expensive although certainly very pretty. And hitchhikers.org didn't have any kind Dutch people travelling from that area back to good ol' NL. So it became a matter of.. where's the nearest affordable flight that actually lands at schiphol airport?

After careful calculation. Budapest is much too far. Innsbruk is much too expensive. And Venice.. well.. Venice might work out just fine. Being all beautiful and quiet, it was kind of hard to resist spending one night here before grabbing the transavia flight back to Amsterdam tomorrow.

So for all my hatred of lowcost airlines, I'm going to hold my nose in the name of staying financially alive. And if you're poor and decide Venice or Ljubljana are places you're interested in.. well.. this might be the option for you.
