Vosnjakova ulica 1 Ljubljana, Slovenia, 1000 , 1-433-2155
We arrived in Ljubljana late yesterday afternoon... it is probably the smallest capital city in Europe being the capital of Slovenia which is one of Europe's smallest countries (but much bigger than the municipalities of Monaco, San Remo and Vatican City). The Slovenians are very friendly people. They really don't seem at all phased by the fact that they were part of Tito's Jugoslavia. They weren't so keen on the fact that they were dominated by the good old Habsburgs for a while but that was...

We checked in and then walked down to the main shopping area for lunch before visting the Tourist Information Centre to get a city map and some information on bus timetables to Bled.

Ljubljana, Slovenia tygaHad a sleep in, ate breakfast and then set off on a walking tour of Ljubljana. We walked down Slovenska and then down Copova to Presernov Square and the Franciscan Church.

Crossed the river and went to Kongresni Square with the Ljublj...

... 000 years, when there was a big tectonic plate shift.
When we left the caves, we drove out to the “Lipica Stud Farm.” It’s where the famous Lipizzaner horses are bred, raised, and trained. It’s a beautiful farm area with hundreds of horses. We got to see a performance before touring the grounds. The first part of the performance was mid-level trained Lipizzaner doing fancy footwork to classical music. It was beautiful and very skillful. Then we ...

What Ljubljana DEFINITELY lacked was shops, which sounds ridiculous I know. Need I remind you it’s a capital city? Having pretty much lived with my earphones in my ears (between skype & my ipod) they needed to be replaced, a seemingly simple task right? Or not. The staff at my hostel looked at me for about 30 secs then went I don’t think you can buy them here. Ummm, ok. Then they sent to a department store with no ...
... I said so we found a café attached to a hotel just near the main square that had stayed open. Jess and I had two cocktails each and also a coffee while the girls had a couple of drinks too. Needless to say we lingered and lingered over the drinks, watching the people comng and going in the café and the hotel. A woman of about 25 came in all dressed up, with an Alsatian on a leash and proceeded to pose for a series of photographs taken by her parents. She went upstairs and appeared ...
Ljubljana, Slovenia guykb... lanes. I really liked that part of the city. Then, after taking a coffee in one of the cafes next to the river, I went to the botanical garden (I love nature, even in the cities) and to the tivoli park. As I had seen pretty much everything there was to see in Ljubljana I decided to try to call Angie, the Bulgarian girl I met on the train from Budapest to Zagreb a few days before and see if she was up to a beer or a coffee. As she was at the city center when I ...
Ljubljana, Slovenia gbasilio... an hour before the concert as planned after I went ahead on my own to meet the organist ahead of the bus - but plans changed, and it took an emergency cab ride by our faithful guide Edward to fetch them from the bus and arrive back at the church five minutes before I walked on (I was ok going out brown-shoed and loosely buttoned-up, but Edward insisted on giving it a try). Edward, expressing continuing laments over the fate of his beloved Romania commented that ...
Ljubljana, Slovenia tlloyd... Chris and I spent a few hours wandering through the city once the rain ceased. After wandering through the old town we made our way on foot up Castle Hill to see the Ljubljana castle. And what a strange castle it was. From the exterior it looked like some of the other medieval castles I'd seen, but the inside had been totally revamped. There were steel platforms everywhere, glass windows in strange places and an atrocious looking 1970s style communist café. Not ...
