Ptuj 09 – day 8 – depature

Posted by: Stephen In: stephen's blog

Time passes quickly, and before you can say Nikoli Ni Ves it was time to leave. One more job to go though. The local tourist board is keen to expand the links between Slovenia and Scotland and wanted to do a photo and video shoot at the castle. It was bitterly cold, the fiddle couldn’t cope with the temperature so Sara had to mime the whole thing.
Promo shoot over it was time to have lunch with friends then pack up and leave, just stopping at another hotel to say goodbye to Maja and Doris.
1500 miles ahead, a much more difficult drive after 6 days of hard partying and little sleep.
We must say a huge thanks to everyone in Ptuj and Hotel Mitra who made our visit so special.
2010 anyone?
