Slovenia Day 1: Ljubljana

We left Optajia and landed in Ljubljana around 1030. We stopped for pictures along the way with breathtaking views of the Alps.

Slovenia is more like Austria than Croatia and is just as cold.  Ljubljana reminded me a lot of Seattle - green (The Greenest City 2016) as in environmentally friendly, outdoorsy, dogs with sweaters, liberal, LGBTQ friendly with the flag flying at city hall. I love Seattle and felt right at home in this charming city.

We took a tour of downtown and it was beautiful. For lunch, we had Cornelian sausage (delicious), Human Fish (beer), and a hot chocolate, which was more like a heated chocolate pudding with whipped cream on top. It was good! We then tried gelato, but they were out of the traditional pumpkin sauce. Bummer! We then tried Potica, the traditional Slovenian cake for celebrations. In other words, anything  that had sugar, we tried it. HA!

We then hopped on the bus headed for Lake Bled.
