The following day I did some exploring of the town centre which didn't take too long, I then climbed the ...

... street and a building next to it, that we couldn't find our way in - but we could hear the sounds of drumming circle coming from within it's grounds...

An early morning breakfast - whilst the locals were still finishing their beers from the night before (or perhaps just the first of the day!!) and we loitered around the bus stop at 8am on a sunday morning waiting for the first bus out of town...

... claims to have enjoyed his very much.  The tranquil peace of Maribor was shattered late in the afternoon by fans of NK Maribor, the local football team, who arrived in the old town, horns blaring and flags flying. Dinner was typical Balkan fare in the riverside 'Grill Ranca' - despite having a full menu there were essentially only two choices - meat pattie with bread (pleskavica) , or meat ...

... in Austria, for being fine producers of dry white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc, Welschriesling and Morillon (their word for C******nay) .
