Slovenia- Spring Holiday Part 3 of 5

So, we're at the half way mark. Spring is starting to set in with sporadic showers and blushes of blue sky.
We Eurail it up to Slovenia via an 8 minute train changeover in Zagreb that would impress the toughest "Amazing Race" competitors and are greeted by the most spectacular green countryside we have seen in a long time, in fact, you could say, ever.
The railway curled itself around the magnificent towering alpine region of southern Slovenia, following the incredibly blue Sava River (I think that is the name anyway). After about 8 hours train ride we found ourselves in Ljubljana (pronounced Loob-lana). After only reading the brief paragraph or two from our massive, but information light Lonely Planet- Europe on a Shoestring Guide we were not sure what we would find. After locating our awesome hostel (Hostel Most is case you ever go) with room that overlooked the river we went out to discover a beautiful little city. The centre of the city it feels like a perpetual Sunday afternoon as most of the inhabitants seem to be students with a lot of time to drink coffee and eat ice-cream at the incredible number of riverside cafes. It also helps that the centre is pedestrianised too so, even when in the centre of the city, it is amazingly peacefull and quiet. It was a shame we only spent a day and a half here as we could have spent a lot longer, but we enjoyed every minute of it and would easily go back.

GREEN!

We found this little bit of genius not far from the Horse Burger joint.

We were both a bit scared to try the horse burger, but Andy did have a "lamb" kebab. I wasn't convinced it was just lamb.

This came from the door of a the castle postioned high on a hill in the middle of the city. I just thought it was a cool door feature.
