"Why do we have a dragon?"
Miha the tour guide muses over the origin of his town's mascot After four chilly days in Zagreb it was time to uproot again and head slightly more north to the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana. if you ever meet a Slovenian person A) there's a good chance they'll be young and very cool, and B) it's almost certain they'll undersell their country. all too often fame and beauty go hand in hand with indifference or offhandedness. Slovenia is a country of just 2 million people that gets 600kg of misdirected mail a year (where's Slovenia or Slovakia.. who knows??). it seems they've traded a bit of fame for a lot of funk and hospitality. There's mountains, lakes, coast, and at least in Ljubljana a lot of students and artists. We stayed with yet another Hospitality Club hookup, Miha, who had 7 years of didgeridoo under his belt and a healthy interest in electronic music. Right now (in Prague) I'm tossing up hitching back down to slovinea to kill some time. only expensive Austria and fairly regular rain lie in the way 😊
We spent a couple of days in the city and one climbing 1000m to a skifield in the bear infested Julian Alps before scooting north once again...
