Here i am in sunny Slovenia, temperature today is a scorching 34 degrees. I am currently in Ljubljana which is Slovenia's capital and its largest city. It's known for its green spaces, including expansive Tivoli Park and the curving Ljubljanica River. The Ljubljanica flows through the heart of the old town and is lined with outdoor cafes, restaurants and bars. The river divides the city's old town from its commercial hub and that's were i am currently having lunch.
You get a feeling that Llubljana is a special place when you wander around this dainty city and notice the many dragon statues that dot the streets. According to legend, Jason and the Argonauts slayed a similar monster in Llubljana in the days of old and, aside from the dragons, the city is packed full of gorgeous architecture that dates for the Baroque period. As well as sculptures and art work, the city is also known for its little squares that line the part of the city called Old Town. Watching over the city is Ljubljana Castle that is served by a cable car if like me, you don’t fancy the trek up.
Slovenia is a relatively small country, bordered by Italy to the west, Austria to the north, Hungary to the northeast, Croatia to the southeast, and the Adriatic Sea to the southwest.
Communicating with locals in commercial establishments was unbelievably easy, as English is a compulsory subject for all in their education system.
