Ljubljana



Another really lovely city and the capital of Slovenia, again with a very attractive Town Square and the famous Three Bridges. I've decided to spend more time in this lovely city. The architecture is stunning, the magnificent baroque St Nicholas Cathedral ( see photo), the castle above the city, the Three Bridges, the Dragon Bridge ( apparently if you are a virgin and cross this bridge, the dragons wag their tails!!) and the cafes all along the river.
Slovenia is definitely the prettiest of the countries on this tour. The landscape is very neat and orderly and it looks wealthier than the other socialist countries we have visited. We have a typical Slovenian evening tonight, with typical food, music and dancing. Off to Lake Bled on my own tomorrow then back to Zadar to go sailing with Claudia and Ralf. I am really looking forward to that.
