SLOVENIA - LJUBLJANA







One of the places we went to look at in Slovenia was an old castle but we had to walk up this really steep hill to get there which was exhausting. The castle was nothing much (mostly because it had been modernised so much so we didn't go in) but it was so hard going down the hill as it was so steep. Although we look like we are dancing in this photo we really slipped down a lot of the way.
We also went out for dinner that night instead of eating in the hotel & I had soup in bread cup. It‘s like that spinach dip in a cob loaf that is really popular. Very odd but nice. Mind you I could have had wild boar, horse, bulls testicles etc. which would be odder (is odder actually a word)?
We went to a bar after dinner called Pr’Skelet which I believe is Skeleton in Slovene. Lots of bones all over the place as you can see from the photo - my kind of place (Bones rules!). Some dodgy looking dude almost started a fight & got kicked out (he looked pretty scary actually) & apart from two for the price of one cocktails, that was the excitement for the night. The photo is of me, Renee, Fran, Monica & Debbie enjoying our bargain cocktails.
So far Slovenia is my favorite place - it is so pretty & clean & just has a lovely feel to it.
