Almin dom (Alma's house) Celje

In Lipice we go to see very famous Lipican horses. Ok, here is what we remember from the guided tour: the stables were founded in 1850 by the local archbishop, at the moment they have 400 horses which got their for from having crossed small cart horses and other kinds from Czech Republic, Austria, etc.; the majority of horses is white (all are born dark - black, brown, grey - but after 2-3 years they all become white), they have just one horse which stayed ...

So we hope you checked the pics and just a few more details about this lake. As it is not on the map there were no foreigners, very calm and remote place. We could not believe but there was also a little bar with wi-fi, copier, open from morning to 11pm.<br><br>Unfortunately, all this tranquillity was disturbed later this day... we are woken by a very strange repetitive melody and yes, it is Hare ...

... it, a beautiful spot.<br><br> <br><br>Vesna thinking about old times perhaps...<br><br> <br><br>Then we ended back at Vesna's brother-in-law's place for tea. Ilija. Really friendly bloke. Trouble is I still had another tea appointment at Marko's sister's. But it was still early so I managed to fit both in.<br><br>After some soup and a bit to eat near the Slovenian border I got a lift to the ...

... not, I'd be pretty embarrassed there having to use Croatian all the time and not knowing any Slovenian...<br><br> <br><br>This is the actual house where Tito was born... apparently. The whole village has been bought up and it's now a museum village. Normally there is an entrance fee to go into the village but as luck would have it the day we were there it was free.<br><br>I suppose nowadays the name Tito ...

<br><br>I'm cheating a bit with this entry as actually I was in Veliko Trgovi&#353;&#263;e, the birth-place of Franjo Tu&#273;man, a few days ago... but I found this pretty good pic with me and the famous Croatian nationalist... well, I don't look so good, but Franjo does... <br><br>

... We went up into the mountains near Zagreb. Their version of Mount Wellington, but much nicer scenery and heaps of restaurants by the road all the way to the top. People would park then walk for a bit and stop for lunch. <br><br> <br><br>Like most of Europe Croatia is very dog friendly. <br><br> <br><br>Apparently this is a speciality in Zagreb. The hugest casserole you've ever seen. Lots of meat, lots of wine.<br><br>Slavko's staying with Vesna ...

It was all looking a little grim again this morning as we set off for our third and final country, Slovenia. No stamp though, we were going back into the EU. Hence there ...

... A little while later, Andrej showed up on his motorcycle. It was so much fun. Everyone was really interested in me. None of them could speak English though except for Sandra and Andrej. After that wonderful lunch and visit Andrej took me for a ride on his motorcycle. It was soooo much fun! He took me down by the monastery that I went to the other day. It was such a perfect day for a motorcycle ride and the country was just so beautiful. After that awesome ride ...

... there and had coffee again in a little cafe. I got whit coffee at Zoran's advice. It's basically melange only with more milk I think. It was 11am I would say an there was a man who was already drunk. he tried making trouble with us even though we were minding our own business. Luckily he went away, Zoran just had to glare at him. Zoran had his laptop with him and I asked him to show me some of his photos from his various travels. Zoran is a photographer and ...

This journey started in Celje. As I wanted someone close to me to join the journey and since Jure didn't want to go with me, my mother joined. It was a bus journey and we knew we're gonna be tired from sitting on the bus, but I don't know for others, I'm full of expectations and it's boiling inside of me, the curiosity and ...
