Ljubljana
Tina McInerney
And now a bus trip to the capital. The bus took us on a very scenic trip through the countryside visiting towns which were on the country roads and not on a highway. It took a bit longer but worthwhile.
We arrived in Ljubljana around 1pm and found the apartment which was a 10 minute walk from the centre of town. The area looked a bit scruffy but it was actually perfect for us - supermarket 200 metres one way and good coffee shop 200 metres the othe way. The markets were just down the road too. The apartment itself was so cosy and warm, it was lovely to come home and settle in for the night.
Ljubljana was another interesting city with great buildings and history. We went for a walk with a tour guide on the first day which gave us an overview of the city. It finished with a funicular ride to the top of the mountain where, would you believe, there was a castle.
As usual we did lots of walking. We were lucky as although it was cold it didn’t rain after the first day.
