Slovenia

Beautiful Ljubljana, Slovenia, 2015

Kutrubes Travel planned an exquisitely complicated tour for me through “eastern” Europe, and loved my time in Slovenia.

The highlight of Slovenia, is just walking through its spectacular downtown. If there is a more beautiful and uplifting town in Europe, I haven’t seen it.  

As Slovenia is known for its natural beauty adventurers will enjoy the waterfalls, mountains, caves and lakes located in the Savinja and Šalek Valley.

 

Cool bridge with locks on it … signifying love!

Loved the bridge with the locks on it … this bridge was the first and inspired MANY others afterwards. 
Who knew you could get milk from a vending machine?!
