Just before I slept the boy under my bunk invited me to spend the night with him at his house and he would give me a ride. Had breakfast with Tea and went down with her to school. Went to coffee with some of her friends and then her boyfriend took me out of town in his car. On returning had lunch with Tea downtown. Then we went 40 km toward Zagreb to attend to some business of Tea and her boyfriend.
At 6:30 the guys were ready. We ate dinner in the student cafe, rounded up some others and when we left Ljubljana at 7:30 there were nine of us, 1 bicycle and 1 amp in the large bus-van. It was quite a memorable trip, bouncing over Yugoslavian mountain roads at tremendous speeds, losing rubber at every corner. Within 15 km of Koper the accelerator cable broke so we rode it in with one steering and one pulling the throttle.

Had bread and jam for breakfast. The clothes weren't dry so I had to wait until noon before leaving. Had a good meal of potatoes, steak, salad and coffee before leaving Celje. Cycled hard and fast to get to Ljubljana before dark. Arrived at 4:30. Went to Tea's dorm but she wasn't in. Waited awhile and asked some others where I could sleep tonight. One boy invited me to sleep in his room. We walked around downtown, the largest city in Yugoslavia, before dinner.
A good package of French Fries costs 8 cents. We had a beer downtown for 10 cents and then went to the cafeteria. There two very long and thick lines, but Martin took me up to the front. That's where the line seemed to form. For 9 cents we had a piece of dark bread, an Italian salad, a big plate of potato and hamburger mash, and a cup of tea. As we were leaving I noticed a bar in the student union. I asked him what the minimum age for drinking was. He impressed upon me that there wasn't an age limit on liquor or beer by buying me a shot of vodka for 12 cents. With hot meals for 9 cents and drinks at 12 cents I could break even in this country. The dorm I'm in tonight cost me nothing. Watched TV and tried to see Tea before retiring but she's still out.
Mileage: Celje to Ljubljana 75 km.
No expenses
