Ljubljana, Slovenia

I arrived in Ljubljana this afternoon.  A record 7 minutes to get off the plane and into the taxi, collecting bags and all.  What a rare treat.

My hotel is in the old city, cobbled streets and paths that line the river, very very picturesque indeed.  Despite being rainy and overcast, some decent shots were to be had in the afternoon and then in the evening, once the lights were one I took a bunch of night shots, perching my camera on various bridge edges as I had not bothered to unpack my tripod.

Turns out that the hotel that I am staying in is owned by a Slovenian and his Australian wife, who just happens to come from Perth!  Who’d of imagined that!  They treated me to some rare hospitality and invited me to a local wine tasting being held at the hotel, which went down very well – of course!!

Another early start tomorrow to meet up with the rest of my mountaineering group.  A few hours sleep would be good, just seems to be thwarted by the merrymaking going on in the pub next door which is doing a bang up job of overcoming the double glazing!!

Ciao for now ……  zzzzzzzz
