Ljubljana, SLOVENIA

Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia and the largest city with a mere 300,000 inhabitants. Ljubljana's castle overlooks the Old Town which is packed with narrow cobblestone streets, galleries and boutiques. Architecture is among the best I have seen recently with lots of Baroque, Renaissance, and especially Art Nouveau styles.

Nice town...nice people, nice food (burek...lots of burek...one of the favourite foods here in the Balkans....pastry with meat inside), good beer and wine, more nice food, and lots and lots of cheap fresh cherries, strawberries and peaches! Easy to find a cherry tree, and camp out for a while.

Tomorrow crossing into Hungary.
