Pretty Piran

Up early to catch a bus from Bled to Ljubljana and then a bus to Piran on the very small Slovenian coastline. We did get there after a hiccup with the bus - no seats left so plan B - we caught the train and then a bus. Took a bit longer but not too bad. And Piran was another beautiful town. It is very medieval at the centre with little windy streets and houses with shuttered windows and balconies facing each other. Lots of restaurants along the seafront with all the beautiful poeople looking out to sea except they are much nicer than the usual beautiful people jangling their jewellery! It is definitely a lovely place to visit. We stayed in a hotel on the seafront- a handy place to stay and a great hotel - especially as it included a big buffet breakfast.

Our first afternoon was a bit of a walk around getting our bearings. We had a great meal of fish in a square where you ordered your meal from a hole in the wall and waited till they called your number. It was just delicious! The next morning we had the big breakfast and went to mass in the church on top of the hill. After that, it was a walk all over the hilly town. Great place and very busy as lots of people visit on the weekend. We did visit a very interesting museum/expo thing called Mediadom Phyrani with a 3D movie and other roach screens which gave information about the town and surroundings.
