Day4 🇸🇮 part “Slovenia - Ljubljana”

Lampros drove the way from Zagreb to Ljubljana which was about 1h30’, and I slept most of the way in the passenger seat 😂. Arriving at the border between Croatia and Slovenia the police officer didn’t even bother looking at our paperwork, he saw our Greek number plate and just let us go through - EU σου λέει!
Driving into Slovenia you have to pay for a vignette ticket - it’s a bit like a pass. The minimum you can pay it for is 7 days so that’s what we did which cost 16€ (even though we’re here only for 2 days!). Arriving in Ljubljana the hostel we’ve booked was very easy to find and the parking we had also booked through the hostel was right at the front of it - the only problem was that I had to go up to reception (7th floor) get the parking ticket and come back down again so Lampros could park the car. Running into the hostel (7th floor only accessible by lift) I bumped into a Greek couple who were also driving through the Balkans - but I was in such a hurry that I didn’t get the chance to say much. We parked, went up to check in and got settled in our “capsule” room. It’s a private room with a bunk bed and we share a bathroom with others. It’s a huge hostel and also has hotel rooms, super weird furniture etc, and very very central. Just what we need. We decided since we’re in Ljubljana for a couple of days to not rush our walk around the city and get some rest - so we had a lie down for about an hour. Afterwards we got ready to go out - we walked to the dragon’s bridge, to the main square “Preseren Square”, the pink Franciscan Church, the triple bridge (it’s three bridges connecting to the square) and went into a lot of small shops - Ljubljana has a lot of cute little boutique shops with ceramics, souvenirs, clothes etc. Also, in the main square, there’s a constant “rainy cloud” where they’ve put a hosepipe high in the air and the centre underneath it is like it’s constantly raining. For dinner we opted for Mexican tacos which were DIVINE - we really really enjoyed them. And of course we deserve a desert, ice cream gelato (I tried a crunchytella flavor and it was like eating crunchy peanut butter with chocolate - fantastic). Time for a rest and a nice shower so we can do many many more things tomorrow!Читать далее
