Come join us for a long day of bus travel as we head from Slovenia to Croatia via Italy starting off at Ljubljana and the changing buses at Trieste and finally arriving in Pula. Before I talk about the journey we forgot to mention the the price point of the journey because we had credit from an earlier trip we canceled way back when we were visiting Budapest:

Price of our bus ticket with Flixbus from Ljubljana, Slovenia to Pula, Croatia via Trieste, Italy = 11.50 Euros per person

Things didn't start off great with our bus being over an hour late arriving in Ljubljana, Slovenia. With a connection to make in Trieste, Italy we figured, especially after being delayed a bit on the highway because of construction repairs, we wouldn't make our connection but we did with merely 3 minutes to spare. Because of that we didn't have time to grab lunch in Italy which was our original plan and we quickly ran out of snacks. As a tip, always pack enough snacks, in anticipation of things not going to plan. This is a lesson we learned.

Crossing through the border into Croatia from Italy was a breeze. Upon arriving in Pula we checked into our airbnb and went out for pizza, risotto and Vranac red wine followed by ice cream (gelato) and more red wine at our airbnb. A perfect way to start things off and we can't wait to share our food and travel adventures with you in Croatia.

Slovenia to Croatia by Bus Travel Vlog Video Transcript:

So today it is our last day here in Slovenia in Ljubljana and we are going to Croatia for the first time. The start of our Balkan adventures begins right now.

What we have to do right - it is early Sunday morning and we're going to be walking over to the bus station. It is about a 20 minutes walk from our AirBNB that we just checked out of. And then we're catching a bus (tickets = 11.50 Euros per person) and it is going to actually the route veers through Italy and then we're crossing in through the border. We'll be stopping in Trieste. We have an hour and a half. Gotta switch buses and we'll have to do immigration. It is going to be a bit of a long day but what we're hoping to do is get some nice Italian food. We'll show you the journey. Let's get started.

Our bus was over an hour late. An hour and ten minutes to be precise. We're not sure if we're going to make our connection so it is going to be tight.

We just barely made our connection. Oh wow. I feel so relieved. I really didn't think we would get it so. This is the best news so we should still be on time. We made it by like 3 minutes that is all.

How do you like bus travel Sam? Well, I'd say at this point I'm a little tired. I've been sleeping the whole way. You have. I haven't. I've been filming the whole time. The film maker. So basically we crossed the border here. We're currently in Istria. Yes. And we need to travel all the way down to Pula at the very bottom.

That was one of the easiest border crossings ever. Oh yeah. The guy came on the border control came onto the bus, we handed over our passports, got stamps and then we were off on our way. It took like 5 minutes.

For dinner we at pizza, risotto and ice cream (gelato) along with Vranac red wine. We're just going to chill and have some more wine and we can't wait to show you some more food and travel videos from Croatia soon. Ciao.
