Slovenia – Short & Sweet

Slovenia vies for the best name of a capital in Europe, Ljubljana, pronounce that if you’ve never heard it before!

I was only there for a few days in 2011 but managed to explore the centre of Ljubljana a fair bit.  I was with my Aussie friend Shane whom I had got to know well whilst traveling in South America.

We had other friends who were in Bled, a bus ride away, in the mountains.  We set off for the day to this beautiful town, set on a lake, with a castle up on the hillside looking down on the town.  Being in such a gorgeous setting we took the view that as the weather wasn’t great we best get a cold refreshment to decide what to do next.  Needless to say I can tell you more about the bars of Bled than the scenery, a common theme when one travels with Shane, although I’m hardly one to complain!
