From Trieste I took a bus to Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. A few minutes after leaving Trieste we were suddenly in Slovenia, I didn't even notice the border.
Ljubljana is a perfect holiday destination.
- It's in the foothills of the Alps so the view is beautiful no matter which direction you turn.
- Location. You can take a day trips to Austria, Croatia or Italy.
- It's cheap. Eastern European prices but Western European standards.
- There isn't really anything to do there. No really, that's a good thing. It means that there's no pressure, you can just relax and enjoy the cafés by the river without feeling bad because you ought to be doing some proper touristing.

The main landmark of the city is Ljubljana Castle. It sits on on a hill overlooking the city so you get a great view of the city from there.
The other main feature of the city is the Ljubljanica River. The river is lined with cafés, bars and restaurants. It's a great place to relax and enjoy life.

If you get bored with drinking and eating you can take a trip on one of the many boats cruising the river.

As you may remember from my Top 5 list of statues and sculptures I met this dude on one of the bridges crossing the river. I'm still not quite sure what he is, but he seemed nice.
That'll do for today, next stop Rijeka in Croatia!
