1) How to get from Bovec to Bled?
Bovec to Bled: there’re frequent buses from Bovec to Bled only in July and August. For other times, there may be a bus on the weekend that depart at 3:50-3:55 PM that will take you to cities within 2 KM proximity to Bled that you can easily take another local bus from there to Bled. Check the buses in advance. We took a bus from Bovec to Lesce then took a local bus to Bled (about 5.5 Euro pp). You can buy the ticket from the bus driver once you get onto the bus.

2) Don't miss you on Canyoning at Bovec
It is one of the highlight of our trip. We did it as a package with Adrenaline Check Eco Camp where we stayed at their camp in a tent with mattress/pillow, dinner, breakfast and activities of your choice. It was a great place to chill as well. There are tons of companies around the area that offers activities like this. We would reco to go to Bovec for rafting, canyoning as the places where you do these actives are right there.

Bus: http://www.ap-ljubljana.si/eng/

We traveled in Slovenia mid to end of June. We didn't have a problem just showing up at the bus or train and bought tickets. Weekend may get a bit busy but it wasn't a problem getting on any bus/train we wanted.

It is not a standard to have a toilet on the bus even if you are doing a 3-4 hours bus trip so be prepared. The bus driver would be nice if you ask him/her to wait for you for a few minutes to go to the bathroom in emergency situation.

4) Ljubljana to Bovec; Bovec to Bled Bus Ride (Gravol is Your Best Friend)

Folks, get some Gravol with you for these 2 bus rides. It is damn windy. If you got a bus driver like ours, you will need some vomit bags. It is like a combination of the Sunshine Coast and the pre-Sea-to-Sky highway to Whistler.

5) Prejama Grad (Castle) & Postojnska Jama (Cave)

Prejama Grad is actually 9 km from Postojnska Jama. There's no public transportation or shuttle bus between these 2 sites so you either get your own ride or you need to do a 9 km each way walk. The walk is on a narrow car road. You can buy a package including entrances to both. There's free parking at the Prejama Grad.

Getting to Prejama Grad by public transportation is a bit of a hassle. There's no bus that get you to the entrance. The bus terminal lady told me I can take a bus to a close by city call Bukovje then walk 2 km to Prejama Grad.

We opt in for driving instead from Ljubljana since we wanted to go to Prejama Grad, Skojcan Jama and Koper all in one day. Renting a car is pretty easy and affordable and it definitely is a easy mean of travel.

6) Skocjanske Jama (Cave)
Skocjanske Jama (Cave) is definitely worth a visit. We drove to Skocjanske on our way from Ljubljana to Koper but we heard that the easiest route is to go to Divaca by either train or bus. There's shuttle buses from Divaca to Skocjanske. Shuttle bus schedule can be found here (http://www.park-skocjanske-jame.si/cgi-bin/newseng.cgi?action=detail&id=18&kajje=1).

There are 2 parts of the cave that you can visit. The first part is the classic route with tour almost every hour from 10 AM to 5 PM but the 2nd part that you can walk on your own is only until 3 PM. See schedule here (http://www.park-skocjanske-jame.si/eng/skocjan-caves-park_tourist_tours.shtml).
