The George Best Backpackers Bar



This is a must visit for people from Belfast, Northern Ireland and probably some from Manchester, too. IFA and ManU shirts - framed on the ceiling, a mural of George and other photos jostle with other sporting memorabilia. Bestie and Muhammad Ali on opposite walls. Some decidedly prog rock plays in the background followed by side 2 of Abbey Road (from the days where there were two sides to an album). 

BACK is a good 15 minute walk from the bus station in the direction of the other hostels. This is where the young adventurers are, the adventure sporters, the party people. On a Tuesday afternoon cooler than the last few days following an almighty thunderstorm last night, it is quiet - almost a place to be reflective.

Large Union (well we are in Slovenia) (500cl) 2.20 euro and I'm away but not before noticing how much less Guinness costs so far away from Dublin and Belfast. Still a euro more than the Lasko and Union.

A place to return to. And not far on the bus from where I'm staying.
