SLOVENIA...So I spent 2 lovely awesome weeks in Slovenia and pretty much saw all of the country. For those that don't know where Slovenia is it's bordered by the following countries: Italy, Austria, Croatia and Hungary. It's not a very big country and like Estonia I never would have visited it if it wasn't for Ollerup. Anyways I stayed with Gregor (in Izlake, half an hour from the capital Ljubljana) and his family who looked after me so well. Their hospitality an...

Journey to Estonia… I took a ship (called the Baltic Queen) from Stockholm to Tallinn (Estonia) which was actually quite nice. It was a 16-hour trip in a tiny cabin of 4 but there were only 3 of us which was good as it would've been a tight squeeze.

Stockholm… Max and I were in Stockholm for 1.5 days. We stayed at Ronja's and Robin's (Ollerup students) place which was lovely and was really great to see them.

We then found a coffee place (Wayne's Coffee) and had ice-cream and coffee, was soooo good. The next day was a day spent in Stockholm. We started by visiti...

Eskilstuna… I met Max here in this little town about an hour away from Stockholm. They had the Nordic Fringe Festival where artists (circus, musical, theatre, etc) came together to perform in shows or on the streets for the public to see. Max and I saw many shows, we payed for some and then got a few free tickets for others (noice!). So we saw a few Variete Manegen shows… these are on every day and it's a mix of different performers. Some included silks, un...
