We took a train from Zagreb to Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Highly recommended by my sister and father, Slovenia is a beautiful country.
A view of the city from on top of Ljubljana Castle on a hill in town.
The Baroque Robba Fountain in the old town square. St Nicholas Cathedral in the background. These cobblestone streets were lined with cool shopping and great outdoor cafes.
Thankfully the weather turned our second day and we were able to explore the beautiful Tivoli Park and the National Museum of Contemporary History.
I don't know if it is the fact that I have recently started drinking coffee for the first time in my life and I had just had a cup, but this was a very interesting and easy to follow museum. I hate when museums are overwhelming and you get lost and constantly feel like you are missing rooms because they are maze-like. This museum was awesome. Completely thorough without being overwhelming. Amazing cultural and historical artifacts and again, I feel like slowly but surely I am kinda sorta starting to understand all of this.
The Tromostovje or Triple Bridge. A very unique three span bridge over the Ljubljanica River in the heart of the old town.
Cafes lining the Ljubljanica River.
A view of the river and old town. There was a great vibe in this area. We loved it...World Cup matches playing at every bar on outdoor tv's, a Mariachi band (random), jewelry sales, bikes and tons of people enjoying the perfect summer day. Awesome spot.
Coffee? What?
