Arriving to Rogaska Slatina

We left Crete early in the morning and flew to Munich. There, we met our friend Ilona from Miami who flew from the US. We together took a flight to Zagreb, rented a car there and drove 1.5 hrs to Rogaška Slatina, home to our encuentro. Walking into the Grand Rogaška hotel, we were instantly greeted by all the magic and reminded why we keep returning to this special place (now for the fourth time!). The vibe is so unique - truly a mix of relaxing old world charm and belle époque of the golden age. The vinyl record player in the cafe, delicious apple and cherry strudels and the magnificence of the stunning Cristal hall all come together to envelop us in magic. We snacked on delicious 🍒 strudel and then I took Ilona for a quick walk of Rogaška center. As a bonus, we stopped by in one of the few boutiques and I bought two pretty bathing suits! And then in the evening, the encuentro started with a beautiful pre-milonga. A nice start to a magical weekend.Read more
