Traveling Around:\u00a0Slovenia<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"slovenia\"<\/a>
\nCan you relate?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Enjoying a nice walk along the river that runs through the city of Ljubiana. I definitely had thoughts that it would be nice to live here in this city.
\n\u2022 Loving that the symbol of Ljubiana is the dragon. I quite enjoyed the cool sculptures of dragons on one of the bridges going over the main river, Ljubljanica.
\n\u2022 Walking across the whole city, from our airbnb, to go to a restaurant that we had planned to check out only to find out that they had run out of food already. We never went back there!
\n\u2022 Running into a food fair in the center of the city. The food fair was\u00a0very unique and had stands that sold so many different, delicious\u00a0cuisines. We found out that the next day had another, different food fair in the same spot. We went back again the following day to check it out. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/a>\"slovenia\"<\/a>\u00a0\"slovenia\"<\/a>
\n\u2022 Renting a car and doing day trips in and out of Ljubiana. Enjoying the freedom of having a car, but as I was\u00a0the driver, I couldn’t fully enjoy the beautiful views of all the mountains and landscapes. \u00a0It is dangerous trying to take pictures and drive at the same time!
\n\u2022 The level of English of Slovenian people is quite high. Everywhere we traveled to in the country had locals that could speak in at least a conversational level of English.
\n\u2022 Going up at just the right time to enjoy the views of the\u00a0Ljubljana Castle, which you can see from basically every part of the city. We went during the sunset.
\n\u2022 Appreciating the older buildings throughout the city, with their colorful facades and intricate designs. I wonder why we don’t make such cool buildings any more for our cities. They really make a city special and unique. Plus, they are great to look at and I would imagine they would make the locals very proud to live there.
\n\u2022 Checking out all the graffiti around the city. I wonder who are the people who actually do this graffiti. I would feel so bad defacing city property. Well some people don’t see it that way, but some day I would guess. I suppose the graffiti artists think they are making boring buildings more beautiful to look at.
\n\u2022 Loving the beautiful weather that we luckily got during our trip here. The view from our top floor airbnb was great! \u00a0The fresh, clean air too was very nice.
\n\u2022 It’s true that Slovenia really has everything. It has a seaside on the Mediterranean, which isn’t too far away (Piran is a super cool city). It also has mountains (the ALPS) which are awesome to look at. Plus their climate isn’t that bad either. \u00a0The nature on offer is just unbelievable. We found a number of amazing spots with great landscape views, and there weren’t hardly any other people around. Very serene!
\n\u2022 If there is one place that you should definitely go on your trip here, it is Lake Bled. This place and area is just so beautiful. It is truly like a storybook fairytale there. Loved it!<\/p>\n
