Decided to head out in search of some sea air… and in the process I zigged when I should have zagged and ended up in Italy (ooops!) – oh, well… managed to find the Slovenian coast eventually… Now, off to find the Walls of Piran… ~ Bella
Dinosaur Eggs for Easter
A certain little munchkin I adore happens to love dinosaurs, so for Easter here in Slovenia, I went on a hunt for dinosaur eggs! I actually had a lot of fun! I made friends with two cute children about four or five years of age – we spoke different languages (yes, I do realise they …
Just out for a drive in Slovenia…
I needed to just go for a drive to no where in particular to blow the cobwebs out… I figured when I was ready to come home, my trusty iPhone would tell me the way… Look closely and one can see someone fishing… ~ Bella
Lake Jasna and Lake Bled
One day it’s snowing… and the next…. Oh, but first, they couldn’t get my luggage out of the door of the hotel…… …and I had rented a manual estate vehicle, but there was a glitch in their system, so they upgraded me! This is where I’m headed… the mountains of Slovenia… One day it’s snowing, …

I later found out that all the European heads of state are staying in my hotel for a conference on Russia among other items. I had to continually show my identification, and the …
Another lovely day in Ljubljana
The trash situation is fascinating – everything is sorted for recycling – the residents and retailers etc have a card for the bins – they load it up, close the lid, the trash magically disappears, then they go through the entire process again until they have disposed of all their trash! The huge underground …
Cruising along the River Ljubljanica
After a relaxing time in the pool, it was time to head to the canal for lunch and then a cruise along the river… …and what lunch beside the canal would be complete without a serenade! I was the only one on board! Normally there are whole groups, but this day, this cruise, it was …
