#sLOVEnia

If Zagreb was an old friend, then Slovenia is an influencer.

Perfectly set up for an incredible shot around every corner. Every part of the country can be accessed within a 2 hour drive and it’s even possible to be snow shoeing in the morning and relaxing on an Adriatic beach in the afternoon. On my trip though, I had limited time so I spent most of it in Ljubljana (Loo-Blah-Na) and Lake Bled. And the photos don’t disappoint.

I can’t help but think though, if Slovenia was invited to a party, she would arrive late, breeze through the door looking stunning, stop everyone in their tracks, take a selfie and just as promptly turn around and walk out the door. The bewildered crowd would be left asking “who was that”? With a chorus of “I have no idea” ringing out before the party returns to whatever it was doing before that moment.

For me to have formed a more concrete bond with Slovenia we both probably needed to put a bit more effort in, stick around a bit longer perhaps. I respect the beauty and ease of walking around Europes smallest capital city and Lake Bled with its snow capped mountain backdrop was like walking in a postcard.

Perhaps in the fullness of time, I’ll see her as more than a hash tag, I do hope so. In the mean time, I head to Austria tomorrow to see what that cranky old rich bastard has in store for me. Hit me with it Salzburg, I’m ready for ya.Weiterlesen
