Today we traveled to Slovenia and Lake Bled, stopping first in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Ljubljana is a wonderful little city with a large pedestrian only area along the river. It was voted Europe's greenest city in 2016 because of this pedestrian only area, a massive effort towards recycling, and free access to electric mini buses for those living in the no car zone. We spent about half the day here, and it was well worth it. Vera even found another fabric store.
An electric mini bus available free of charge to locals who happen to live in the no car zone.
A barrier post to keep the cars out. It automatically retracts into the street for authorized vehicles.
One of many colorful buildings in the city center.
A small river, complete with boat tours, meanders through downtown. Shops and restaurants line both sides. It's a good place for a stroll, or to enjoy coffee and/or a gelato. Located where it is, Slovenia has a large Italian and German influence.
Dragons, based upon Greek Mythology, make up the city folklore.
Impressive door on the Ljubjiana Cathedral. No, this is not an ancient door, but rather a commemoration to the 1996 visit of Pope JohnPaul II.
Picture take from a tower overlooking the city and medieval castle in the distance. You get this view for the cost of a cup of coffee.
