lonely planet slovakia orly.gif
Lonely Planet shows images of Slovenia under "Slovakia."

When I first toured Slovenia in 1999, I took the Lonely Planet guide with me. It was pretty much the only big-name guide at the time (and probably still is) but it served its purpose well. It’s pretty decent, I have to say. Which is why it pains me to see that they’ve joined the Slovenia/Slovakia Hall of Shame.

This page is supposed to contain images of Slovakia. And yet the first two are from you-know-where. This one is from Slovenia’s Triglav national park; this one is from a fruit stand in Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana. I wanted to sue them for a billion dollars for the mistake, but they’ve cleverly indemnified themselves at the bottom of each page with a warning about accepting "no responsibility for any loss, injury
or inconvenience sustained by anyone resulting from this information."

Damn.

(Thanks Rok!
