We are travelling from Venice to Trieste to meet up with you Trieste lot, catching 2 buses and a train... while not speaking Italian... European adventures ftw! So yeah, hopefully public transport is reliable over there. (Eep!)
Nah sack off metaltaxi, they cocked everything up last year and it appears they are this year too. Didn't reply to me until nearly a month later. We got a taxi from the airport too and it was great!
We got our snops from a nice restaurant we bought beef goulash for breakfast from... mmmmmmmmmmmm... that was just the ticket. Have no idea what the restaurant was called though.
Make friends and then meet them at the first time at MC...oh Brits if you wont understand your slovenian buddy...well...get drunk and you'll understand him quite fine...trust me it worked with Finns :D
