A Trip to Skocjan Caves - Slovenia from Trieste - Italy

This summer I got an offer again, a summer school on CODATA-RDA research data science in ICTP Trieste. The school is hold from Sunday to Friday, it is off on Saturday and Sunday. Take the moment in Europe, I do googling to some tourism place in Slovenia close to Trieste. Yup, Slovenia. This is the fourth time I went to Trieste, but I never go that neighbor country of Italy. After some googling, I found Skocjan Cave in Divaca, it is not so far from Trieste and can be reached by bus and Train.

So I have looked for how reach to Skocjan cave from Trieste. I found the route is Trieste - Opicina (by bus) - Divaca (by Train). The Google didn't show us much information, but gives us some link to explore. Some traveler on the tripadisor suggest to use tram to Opicina continued by train. The problem is the tram is not operated since 2016 until now (July 2017). However, there is bus number 42 from Piazza Oberdan (Trieste) to Opicina. So the route is, bus number 6 Grignano - Oberdan, Continued to bus number 42 Oberdan - Opicina.
