Day 7 - Tivoli Park & Leaving Ljubljana

We got up early and decided to go for a run in Tivoli Park, a sort of horticultural park and nature preserve just west of Ljubljana's Old Town. We discovered a verdant network of trails winding up and down the forested hills overlooking the city. On the trail, we found exercise checkpoints instructing to perform various odd stretches and warmups, reminiscent of 70s-era calisthenics. We also found the biggest slug I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure it was carnivorous and trying to attack us. It's a good thing it was a slug and well.... sluggish. On our way back to the hotel, we went through the daily outdoor market, where farmers from around the country bring their produce and goods. So many amazing fruits and vegetables that I have never seen before! My favorite was the tiny wild strawberries that were redolent of delicate lavender. After returning, we picked up our rental car and departed Ljubljana to continue our Slovenian adventure into the southwest Karst region.Meer informatie
