Ljubljana

Slovenia's capital is a fantastic place, but not the best for pictures. There's lovely hills in the distance. The castle's quite cool (and the only real tourist attraction), but we couldn't work out a good angle on it (too many trees in the way). The best we could do was the freaky heads on a door of the cathedral:
I think they're meant to be comforting...
There's a better shot on our flickr site, which you can get to from the side bar, but unfortunately I foolishly don't have that photo with me.

Beyond that there's just a good photo of Joanna looking geeky at the castle's 3D history film of the city...

Well, it made Ben laugh.

The city has a lovely cafe/bar culture, even if there's not a lot of touristy things to see. Seriously nice, relaxed place to hang out. Not much to report back.

Beyond that we moved onto Maribor (Slovenia's 2nd city), which we've just arrived back in. We have a small confession to make, but we'll give ourselves a day or 2 to work ourselves up to it...

Those glasses really suit you, Joanna! I'm going to need phonetic spelling for the rest of your trip, I think...so how do the natives say Ljubljana? Awaiting your 2nd confession...

Hi Michelle,
The j is a y, so they say Lyublyana I guess... We've been through Plitvičke Jezera since then, which we never really worked out how to say, so we're not always going to be useful on pronunciation...
Love us xx
