Caves and Prosciutto: Ljubljana, Lipica & Piran
... After the cave we went on a mini hike to a view point and took a lot of pictures. It was really pretty.
Just a 10 minute walk from the cave sight was a tiny authentic restaurant where we had a prosciutto tasting! It was the best I have ever had, and I normally dont even like it.

We are staying near Venice, on the Adriatic Sea. Lovely, lovely seaside town with a marble boardwalk, fine sand and the roar of the surf (collected seashells to show Hope and Chloe) Our guide arranged for a turkey dinner for us, an unusual meal for Italians, nice touch. Tomorrow Venice! ...
