Postojna Caves, then Opatija.

We left Zagreb this morning and popped over the border into Slovenia to visit the Postojna Caves. It's a massive subterranean world of stunning stalactites, stalagmites, columns and curtains. We've been to caves in Australia and Hungary which boast stalactites and stalagmites etc but they pale in comparison. We travelled deep into the caves for 3.7km in their cave train, then walked about an hour and caught the train back again. It was an amazing place, chilly at 8 degrees centigrade. At the deepest spot we were 120m below ground.

We then drove back into Croatia to the lovely seaside town of Opatija, our home for the next 2 nights. It was a bit hazy but nevertheless our first views of the Adriatic Sea were still very pretty. Our day ended with a very fancy buffet dinner and a short stroll.Read more
