We as English speaking countries say everything is lovely according to Jaca who lived in England studying. Jaca is Bozo's son. He was very helpful with finding our way around Kranj the main town near their village. Great guy actually...reminded us of Raff our son in law.
Ljubljana has a castle high up on the hill. To get there you can take the funicular. It is the shortest in the world I think..it is 66 meters long and takes you to the Upper town. Great view and great for exercising those legs of ours.
The city is so peaceful and not crowded with lots of tour groups. Maybe we were lucky being the end of summer. Situated on a river with views from the three bridges that are right next to each other at an angle. This is one of them . We really liked being there. It had a great feel as does all of Slovenia .
Begonias everywhere and all the same colour. My mum would love Europe , the gardener that she is.
What a fantastic exhibition! Thank you for suggesting it Bozo.We have never seen anything like it.
We have never seen so many corn fields in Slovenia and also in Hungary. One of the great things travelling by train or bus is the chance to see the agriculture of all the regions we pass by.
Kranj is the historical town near to where Breda and Bojo live. We spent a day from early in the morning people watching. Not many tourists ..everyday people going about the day. Mums with little ones meeting other mums at the coffee places . People going to work . Men sitting chatting over their espresso . Tomi's friend Almir said that it is usual to go into work then have a break for a coffee then go back up to work..work awhile then more coffee. Now I know why Tomi likes his coffee. I think some of te older guys stayed there all day.
Poor Nick !! Breda invited me for a little hike up to the top of her hill. I declined but Nick decided to join her. It was nearly dark and very warm and extremely humid. Bozo and I decided to drive to the top to collect them...usually they return down by foot as well. Unless they are cycling. Before setting of we had an espresso from their village cafe to prepare us for our journey. The view from the top was wonderful, even though it was getting dark. We waited for them to arrive. Breda came first with nick struggling along. He was absolutely wiped. They came across a friend of Breda's on the hike and she told Nick ,Breda will try to kill you. She nearly did. Well done Nick xx I was practicing for the next time we are visiting.
Thank you so much for the experience of travelling in Slovenia guys. Thankyou for all the food you shared with us and your favourite places Xxx Never will we forget .
