Day 22 I was up with the alarm and quickly downstairs for breakfast. My GoOpti pick up was scheduled for 7:40am and I did not want to rush. I waited outside the hotel from 7:25am till 8am before my transfer arrived. The driver apologised for being late. He explained that he had one pick up before me and when he arrived she was still in bed. He had come to pick me up and we would return to pick her up. This suited me as I got the choice of seats in the 8 seater bus. After picking up the rest if the passengers, me one Portages female uni student and 5 hippy looking Slovenian girls, we were finally on the road by 8:45am. The young lady who had held us up was jessica a 19 year old Uni student who was returning home after 3 months volunteer work in Slovenia. She sat next to me and as she spoke excellent english we chatted for much of the trip. She had just finished her first year at uni so I ask her what she was studying. She replied that she had excellent marks at school and her parents had encouraged her to go into medicine or science. So she chose Forensic Science. Now that sh was at the end of her first year she had decided that she was not enjoying the path that she had chosen so she had gone away for three months to consider her options. I ask her what she had decided and she replied that she really liked photography and would like to do a corse that involved photography. However, she was not sure how her parents would react. My advise to her was to do what felt right and to do something that made her happy. She spoke 5 languages and I ask her which language she learnt first, expecting her to say Portuguese. However, her answer was that from primary school she had been taught Portuguese, Spanish, French, German and English side by side. Thus becoming fluent in all 5 languages at the same time. I could not resist asking a question which I had ask other multilingual people. "what language do you think in?" Usually the answer is that they revert to their primary language for thought and planning within their head. jessica's answer was, "what ever language I am currently speaking". My theory is that by teaching the first language side by side produces a truly multilingual brain with no fall back state. The GoOpti trip was excellent with two half hour stops for coffee and toilet and very comfortable seating I would recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap transfer. 74 euro from Ljubljana to Milan. However, all did not go well as unbeknown to me there are two Crown Plaza Hotels in Milan some 65 km apart. You guessed it. I was dropped off at the wrong hotel which meant a taxi ride from one side of Milan to the other. A taxi ride that cost me 143 euro. So my cheap transfer option ended up costing me far more than it would have to fly. When I finally arrived at my hotel I rested for a couple of hours then ask reception for the address of a local resturant. There was only one in the vicinity, approx 1 km down the road. So at 6:15pm I set off to find dinner. However, when I reached the Samarcanda resturant I discovered that it did not open until 7pm. So I sat on the bench by the front door waiting for it to open. When it opened I chose an outside table and ordered bruschetta as a starter and Pizza Dracular for main. While I was sitting waiting for my meal a familiar voice came from behind, "dougie Brown how are you". It was Bill and Joan who had arrived the day before me. So we enjoyed a meal together then returned to the hotel.
