Monday 4th June
We head into the capital and meander through the city with no set plan. Ljubljana is a university city and this gives it a young and vibrant feel against a backdrop of historic buildings. Strolling along the Ljubljana River is very pleasant and near Trnovo there are steps along the river adorned with willow trees, just inviting you to sit with a picnic. At Triple Bridge you can catch a land train up to Ljubljana Castle giving a good view of the city but to be honest little else. There are a couple of walks around the top, which would probably be quite pleasant, however it was raining and we didn’t have any wet weather gear so elected to stay dry.
We visited the fruit and vegetable market whereupon we gorged ourselves on strawberries and cherries and stocked up with the necessary. By this time it was 4pm and the boys were getting tired and teasy and did not appreciate the walk back to the car, to add insult to injury we gave each a bag with a vegetable for them to carry, fruit being too easily bruised!
