Well....It has been little over a week since my last entry, and so much has happened. Vienna to Lake Bled, Slovenia and now the capital of Slovenia Ljubljana (Loob leeyaana). We spent two days in Vienia, where my mom studied for 4 months. I had been there before, but the weather was terrible and I did not have a good feeling about the city. This time we decided to take a bike tour the first day and really got a great overview of a wonderful and beautiful city, full of art, culture and a ton of history that has shaped the world as we know it. Highlights of this city included having cappucino and a chocolate croisant for breakfast and having a little austrian woman tell me about the opera in vienna and how amazing it ... read more

Hello hello I am presently in Slovenia at the moment, in the capital city of Ljubljana. What a gem of a city, it has no big attractions but the atmosphere is the best that i have experienced yet. It's a city that has a large italian and german influence. We are only 100 miles from italy at the moment. We got here two days ago and before that we spent 4 nights in lake Bled up in the Alps. We met some very funny welshmen there who were obsessed with eating horse, its a slovenian delicacy. Spent most of our time doing as little as possible in the sun by the lake. Went canyoning which was awesome. You put a wetsuit and helmet on and go jumping, absailing and ziplining down this canyon. Got a bit ... read more

Szybko jedziemy do stolicy. Szukamy jakiegos miejsca do zaparkowania, co graniczy z cudem. Znajdujemy je gdzies na osiedlu domkow, ale niedaleko od centrum jak sie poniej okazuje. Ljubljana jest malutka, tak malutka, ze idac dochodzimy do glownego placu nie zdajac sobie sprawy, ze to centrum turystyczne miasta. Znajduje sie na nim centrum informacji skad bierzemy plan miasta i zaczynamy zwiedzanie. Na placu znajduje sie most Triple Bridge (Tromostevje), Frančiškanska cerkev i maly market. Nad miastem kroluje zamek Ljubljanski grad, od razu postanawiamy sie wdrapac na wzgorze, zeby podziwiac panorame miasta. Schodzimy na dol i biegniemy zobaczyc Pa ... read more

On August 14th after being in Portugal for work and visiting family some days i started my summer holidays trip! I flew from Lisbon to Amsterdam and from Amsterdam i continued my trip where Adria Airways flew me to ljubljana in Slovenia. Adria operates this route with very small planes and the weather above the alps and in slovenia was bad, rainy and windy so we had quite some turbulence and especially with such a small plane you notice that well. Luckely enough i landed at Brnik Airport in one piece. 2 friends were waiting for me at the airport and drove me to their house. As it was raining so hard we decided to stay in and drink...we just left the house to get a famous "Horse Burger" near Tivoli park. It was also very ... read more
