Tegan had class this morning so after we had museli for breakfast at home Steve went out for a walk around town. We are staying in the heart of Ljubljana so it's the perfect spot to explore from. After Steve walked along the river for an hour or so and Tegan finished her class, we went out for lunch at a veggie place called Güjzna and it was absolutely beautiful. Steve had the Goulash and Tegan had sausage and potatoes, both of which were better than we had expected. It started pouring rain while we were eating (fortunately we were under a big umbrella) and a little bird kept jumping onto our table, so it was quite the eventful meal.

The Ljubljana symbol is a dragon and we saw lots of dragons around. It is a beautiful city with a river running through the middle with stunning squares, streets and shops/buildings. It has a calm vibe and we absolutely love it — it’s really nice to see where my Nana was born.

We went home and got ready to meet with Tegan's family at 3pm. Alenka, Vid and Ema picked us up from our place and walked us around town and bought us ice cream, the best in town and it certainly was. Vigo ice cream might be the best we’ve had on our trip. We then made the trek up to the castle and enjoyed the expansive views over the town. We leisurely headed back down the hill and eventually ended up at the pizza place they had booked for dinner. There we met up with Darko and all had a very nice dinner together. We chatted and walked around for another hour or so after dinner and then said goodbye and went home to bed. It was so lovely to catch up with them, it had been 10 years since I last saw them and both Ema and Vid are grown up and studying either physics or computer science.Read more
