Just a thought before I go
... their time talking and laughing in cafes. You would also expect a post-communist country to be enthusiastically embracing materialism, but Ljubljana has a nicely old-fashioned radicalism, almost a 60s bohemian air. Perhaps this is because it is more a ...
A Little More Ljubljana
... nbsp; I also wouldn't recommend the museum without a little bit of background history concerning Slovenia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or Ljubljana. The permanent exhibits seemed a little disjointed and were missing information that would have provided a ...
Not sure what happened....
... didn't find a place to put my head until 2:30. For some reason I decided not to stay in Italy and took a train to Slovenia. I have heard from a few people that it is beautiful here and so far they have been correct. There is a little chill in the air, ...
Ljubljana, Slovenia
... the currency of commerce. (I hope I'm not "talking through my hat" here). But at least I can report with confidence that Ljubljana, Slovenia is a beautiful city, and well worth a visit. And many are visiting. The streets are filled--but not overly ...
Slovenian hospitality and more Sicilian adventures
... gotten at least a little bit off the beaten track. After a brutal 5 hour attempt to sleep through it, we arrived in Ljubljana, a name which I dare not try and pronounce any more as the pronunciation just does not make sense with English phonetics. I was ...
Ljubljana Laundry
... the hostel because we were desperate to do some laundry and it appeared to be a very nice place. We have ventured through Ljubljana. It is a nice city and has been kind to us. We tried something different and walked through the local architects home, ...
Loving Ljubljana
... up and we headed back down....slowly....spiraling down, down, down. We made it back in time to see a movie about the history of Ljubljana and then we made our way back to the 'city' and headed out to find a place for dinner. We found a pizza ...
Ljubljana
Dear Blog, Today we took a 4 hour train ride from Venice to Ljubljana just over the border in Slovenia. we arrived at around 8pm and checked into out Hostel which was once a Prison. Yes quite creepy but they have set up the bulding very nicely. The old ...
quick trip up north
... . We hung out in Trieste a little before we had to get the bus and then only had to sit a few hours to get to Ljublijana. What a great city. A little river runs through it with great cafes lining the edges and cool old buildings. We went ...
Ljubljana
... to visit museums and cultural sites, take photos of buildings and eat new foods. When we come off the train in Slovenia's capital Ljubljana we wave goodbye to our new train buddy who we have learnt is Bosnian, travelling from Innsbruk, where he has ...
Off again, where I'll land nobody knows
... have a cat at every table here and I sort of miss them. Italy and Greece from what I saw didn't drink much, but here in Ljubljana there is a Caffe/Bar ever 20ft, that means it's a Bar that serves coffee too. The younger folk pre-funk in the park and ...
"Loo-bli-ana" it's easy!
The capital of Slovenia has a small old town and feels comfortable immediately. So much so in fact that I decide that I'm long overdue for a haircut and this can be the location of my first "trip trim". The 2 young guys in the ...
Slovenia. The Hidden Gem of Europe!
... Italians. In fact, it looks as if they took a classy Italian town and placed it in the middle of Wisconsin. That's right, Slovenia, you're like home to me. Right down to your chandelier that illuminates the main square, and your dragon statues along ...
A Series of Fortunate Events, Part 1
... the people that you will meet, rather than the things you will see. Once again, I found myself sad to leave a place, but I only had 3 nights in Ljubljana, also know as Ljubblywubbles, before I had to move on to the slightly-easier-to-pronounce Maribor. ...
Penultimate Country
... was at a restaurant where we sat outside and were entertained by a couple of musicians, but even more so by the impressive Ljubljana 'scenery', particularly the scenery that went past on roller skates! After dinner a few of us headed to one of the many ...
Falling in Slove
... this before we go out to dinner. But as you can see from the photos, today was spent wandering around the quaint city of Ljubljana, which isn't like any other city we've ever been to because it's so clean, small and quiet! The Old Town is beautiful with ...
Ljubliana...how to pronounce it. I don't know...
Time to go back into Eastern Europe... Let's see, Ljubliana, Slovenia was a nice enough city, the night life was pretty cool! We went to a bar with skeletons for decor and a bookcase as the door to the bathroom (it took me about 5 minutes to find my way ...
In the Cells
... , Again, i apologize for the delay in updates, it can be hard to Internet let alone the time of day. Arrived in Slovenia today, where we are spending a night in a former prison, and are room is actually one of the original cells with original ...
Almost killed, crack car, ended up in prison
So...our introduction to Slovenia was a little rocky... It was pouring rain when we got off the train, but we braved our way to our hotel along the Slovenian roads (they dont know what the stipey lines on the road are for...just to give you an ...
Where is the sun?
... at least a good change from our ususal breakfast of Banannas and yoghurt. We wandered around town stopping at two of Ljubljana's famous bridges; the Triple Bridge and the Dragon Bridge. Afterwards we grabbed our bags from the hostel and headed to ...
Back In The Little City
... again with Ursa. She wanted to go for her birthday so who was I to argue. It was Rashid(Morocco), Ursa(Slovenia), Baptist(France) and Me (Australia). Australia kicked arse again. France demaded a re-match, so me and Baptist are ...
Storm in Ljubljana
... roman ruin, and even near venues for the arts festival in progress right now. If there was a crowd of people somewhere in Ljubljana, we didn't find them. The closest we came was a few groups of visitors to the castle, or some lightly-populated central ...
Slovenia - The disaster
... rained, it was relatively expensive and things didnt go as planned (at all!) I caught the train from Zagreb to Ljubljana (pronounced looblyana) through a beatiful river valley running up to the capital. In my train compartment a girl had opened a beer ...
A summer house and a private vineyard
... the Slovenia guys at underwater hockey! Great fun for all!!! On Monday Luci and I moved to Robbie and Sasa's magnificent home in Ljubljana so we could see the sights and sounds of the city. The castle is the perfect vantage point to see the city and all ...
Ljubljana
... Roman ruins! What more do you need?! Jeff and I enjoyed a slightly slower pace today, and a good hike up to Ljubljana Castle. Beautiful park-like settings enchanted us as we made our way up to the long standing settlement that is now mostly a ...

Lovely Ljubljana
... out in the city this arvo and how to get to Lake Bled tomorrow and recommended some places for traditional Slovenian food. Walked around Ljubljana and went to the castle, town hall and St Nicholas Cathedral all a bit over 3 hours. It's a pretty compact ...
How do you spell it again? L-J-U....
Not sure why Slovenia thought it was a good idea to put two silent 'J' letters in the name of their capital. Ljubljana is pronounced "Lubyana" more or less. We met some funny British boys who pronounced the J's. Not quite as beautiful when you saw it that ...
