From Croatia we headed north into Slovenia. The capital city of Ljubljana (say it like, lub-yan-ya) was a mere 2 hours from the border and is in the centre of Slovenia. As we crossed into Slovenia the landscape suddenly became very green and vegetated much like parts of the south island of NZ. The design of housing had changed with steep gable roofs to prevent snow building up in winter.
We stayed in a hostel on the edge of the city centre. The centre is so compact that it was easy to make our way around. The city had a river flowing through the centre which was lined with restaurants, cafes and bars. Lots of good shopping, street art and a good vibe with locals going out for Saturday brunch in the sun.
One day we hired bikes for a few hours. The city is very bicycle friendly and flat with dedicated bike lanes.
Ricet (barley soup, with beans and pork), cheese dumplings and pork.
