Tiny.
After retuning from hiking Vintgar Gorge, we hopped onto a pletna and headed towards the island. I don’t know exactly how it works for the pletna pilot, but at 12 euros a head and 20+ heads on a boat, it seems like a pretty sweet job. Mike and I were both thinking we were in the wrong business (although I’m sure they pay some sort of tax for the right to operate). As soon as I bulk up my arms (and learn to swim properly), I’m heading back to the dock with a resume in hand.
It takes about 30 minutes to reach the island and you are given 30 minutes to explore as you like. You can also hire your own boat but we were told that private rentals were suspended due to the regatta. (We saw a few people out in rented boats though so I think that was misinformation.)
The island was cute and tiny and peaceful. You can enter the church for a fee but we preferred to stay outside.
When we returned to the mainland it was time to fetch our luggage and head back to Ljubljana. We stayed at a place that is housed in a former prison. Now the building is part hostel part art gallery. Each former prison cell has been remodeled by various artists and turned into guest rooms. Ours featured photographs from around the world and lofted beds. It may come as no surprise to hear that our stay was actually a bit uncomfortable and claustrophobic. Now that the novelty of sleeping in a prison cell has passed, I probably won’t seek out the experience again.
