Well he said that the lion was closed for refurbishment - and also that most other bars were closed too.
Im guessing the only place to get a drink will now be in hotel bars/mehanas?
Really wanting to see the Rugby games - any alternatives very welcomed.
You might get them to put it on in Legends Mehana (i think that is the name ??) just on the edge of the square right next to the fountain. They do play the football
Re. Guy Fawkes night, there is a celebration planned, a charity do for a local disabled childrens school being set up by a group of ex-pats...
I think that's the Hotel Momini Dvori - they have a large screen TV and may put it on for you. They are extremely helpful and accommodating - the food is very good too!
