Ljubljana Part 1

Today was an unexpectedly great day! We got up and got going super early. We had called a car place when they opened at 8 and the person said to come right in no appointment needed since it was an emergency so we headed down to Ljubljana to that place…and when we got there they were like well we have no time today, but if you leave it here overnight we can get to it by 3 tomorrow which then we would have to find a place to stay and get our things there without luggage or anything and yeah not ideal. So I asked if they knew of anywhere else that might have time today and they gave me another place about 20 min away so we called them and that guy was like okay come at noon and we all see what is going on. So we headed down there and did some grocery shopping while we waited for noon and when we got there the check engine light was still on. The guy got in the car to move it into the workshop and he was like hey which light was on? Cause nothing is now. Which what? It was on yesterday and the whole drive down to there so why is it not on??? We told him and he took it to check to see what the log said had been an issue and it was something that wasn’t a big deal and we could still drive with it if it comes on again as they don’t have the part that would need to be changed and it would probably take at least a week to get. But he was sure we would be fine driving with it if it did come on again so that was good. And it drove fine up and down the mountains to get there so that was a relief it wasn’t something major that would need to be fixed before we could do anything. It was also nice to have a more relaxed not actually doing anything morning as I was so tired!

We were done at the car place by 12:30 and were talking about what we wanted to do today since it the car was okay and since we were by Ljubljana we thought why not camp here and explore town and I am glad we did! It was gorgeous out - hot but not overwhelmingly hot and sunny. I was not dying in the sun like Maribor or yesterday so that was good. And the downtown area is pretty nice! It is set up on either side of a river and the waterfronts were really nice to walk along and then the road just in from there on both sides also had lots of shops and stuff and we really enjoyed our time wandering. It is not a big downtown, but we managed to fill our afternoon there. We also got all the treats!! First (in the horrible photo) was gelato - lemon sage, strawberry basil, raspberry mint, and dark chocolate. They were all very good, but my favorite was the lemon sage. So refreshing!

Then there was also a fancy patisserie that had a yuzu cake and a chocolate peanut cake and oh they were delicious! I loved the yuzu one and Raymond preferred the chocolate one :)

I also got another photo of me in a giant chair! I always love that! And there was also a bit of the farmers market still going on and we got some fresh veggies for dinner tomorrow night. These photos are all from the East side of the river and we took a nice break by the metal dragon sculptors and ate our treats.Leggi altro
