3 days in Slovenia then off to Croatia

Cool castle in Postojna, Slovenia. It was built into a mountainside incorporating caves in its design

A 10 minute train ride into one of the worlds largest caves open to the public. Slovenia has 9000 caves.Fun dinner! Did you know that the accordion is the national musical instrument of Slovenia?

unique library design in Ljubljana (capital of Croatia). Doors are heavy because learning can be difficult. Then the entry way is dark, leading to bright wall inside. Knowledge leads you out of the dark into the light. Look at the windows, designed to look like an open book. Lots of thought went into this design.

Other interesting facts of Slovenia ……

Worlds highest ski jump, 900 feet(lots of Olympic gold and silver medals in ski jumping).

National flower is the carnation.

Restrooms are free in Ljubljana(unlike a lot of Europe) . This has kept the homeless and poor from peeing in the streets. A good idea!Then it was off to Croatia! We’re now in Zagreb for three nights. We did an orientation walk with our trip leader then found an outdoor restaurant for pizza, beer and wine.

  1. Looks like you have really gotten into the culture of each of the areas you’ve visited. I think the hike in the Split National Park would be a major highlight. And the pictures show a comaraderie you and Patty have with fellow travelers and the waiters. Doesn’t sound like you are ready to come home. Enjoy your last few days.
