Boris Johnson personally paid for his and Carrie's post-wedding party at an eco-hotel in Slovenia, although he had previously been unable to state whether or not the Prime Minister footed the bill himself. Mr Johnson and his wife have just returned from a near-week stay in Vila Planinka, Slovenia's remote mountains. The resort, which is located in a valley near the village of Jezersko in the Kokra Valley, just 30 minutes from Slovenia's capital Ljubljana, promises a 'balance of energies' and a place for visitors dininge on bear prosciutto. It also has vegan toiletries and tap water with Slovenia's highest magnesium content - which is said to be beneficial for the heart.
