That's right, she came to Ljubljana.
*chronological check, some embarassement on my part LOL!*
Tuesday: my cell phone rings, and i had no idea whose number it was, but i called back anyway - and no one called back. So i thought: nah it's not Sula, she's in Croatia now - she'll probably call tomorrow (because initially i thought she was coming on Wednesday).
Wednesday afternoon: Mum is driving me to town for my English class, and all of a sudden, my cell phone rings. Different number than Tuesday's, so i thought: nah it's not Sula because she may be here, but i'm too busy to meet up with her (so she wouldn't call anyway, plus it was raining and i had a bad day etc...). My Mum asks: "Who's calling you?" I go "I dunno- i don't know the number." So a few minutes later, it rings again - same number. So now it hits me: waiiiiiit a minute, this could be Sula or Marko. (i gave her the number of my cell phone) So i get out of the car inside the building where we had the class and call back.
Sure enough, i was right: Marko picks up, (it was his cell phone) and Sula's with him and it turns out she's still in Croatia after all and will be coming on Thursday, which was great because i had time to meet up after work!
*some more embarasement for me coming up LOL*
So after a few SMSs, we agreed that Sula will call me when she would get on the railway station in Ljubljana. Everything goes well, i even get off work early (it's a sunny day too), Sula calls and voila! i'm on my way to the station.
Erm...i kind of misunderstood where she exactly she was (i thought she'd be outside), so first i checked anything outside.
She wasn't there. So i check the lower part of the station downstairs. She wasn't there either. I check outside again - still no Sula!
By now i was getting nervous - is she inside, did she go for a walk or something...? So i check the central building of the station, all parts of it, all nearby bars, no Sula still. I get to the other side of the building, one of the last possible parts of it - a few people inside.
Um...also i thought she'd look like the pic she posted - the one with the sunglasses and her hair in a ponytail.
Anyway...i'm looking at the people and i notice a girl sitting at the wall. Clearly she's waiting for someone, and i can see she's wondering a bit whether i was the one was waiting for. But, i turn and go to the other side of the room, checking for a girl with pony tail and sunglasses. No such thing, so i turn back and little by little, the face of the sitting girl looks familiar. I walk to her, and to my relief, she goes "Maja?" and i go "Bethany?"
I spent like 20 minutes wandering around the station like an idiot before i found out where she was LOL!
Anyway, we spent the remaining hours when it was light enough outside walking around old part of Ljubljana, with me being a tourist guide-wannabe explaining some stuff about the building, statues etc...also we went to the Castle, where some kind of event was going on: candles lit, some live orchestra music playing, lots of cars, people in uniforms - and i (embarassing, i know) as a local had no clue what it was. There was a nice view from the Castle (we could see my high school and a hill close to which our house is), and then it was just dark enough and we took a cab to my house.
First we had dinner (persutto, cheese, grapes, baked chestnuts and pickled mushrooms), and then me, Mum, Dad and Sula talked about all kinds of stuff. Later, my brother and his girlfriend came home, and the four of us talked till 10:30 pm (and i had work the next morning at 7 am!). So then me and my brother drove Sula back to the station where she had her bag and we safely brought her into a bar where she waited for the train.
