I've saved everything on Croatia and Slovenia from TheTravelzine, including Don & Linda's trip reports on Slovenia, and am doing my studying so we can really have a great trip. I read in a posting from Paola Maietta about the steam train from Trieste to Ljubljana, and it sounded so interesting I'd like to have more information, such as how long does the trip take? Is there always a brass band? Is there a website?

I've been there before but it was over 10 years ago. At that time we visited Dubrovnik, Split, Opatija, Lake Bled, Postonia Caverns, the horse training farm, and returned from Zagreb. I want to visit some other places this time, including Plitvice Lakes. Any input would be appreciated - and copied.

Many thanks, Rosemary
