As I went downstairs, headed for a day of exploring the castle, I was confronted with soooooo many police, security, secret service….. 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 photo I took in the lobby of all the commotion, I was asked to delete.
Out on the pavement, however, photos were apparently fair game…
I took the funicular railway up to Castle Hill…
There were so many stairs – and in most places no handrails! Me thinks Slovenians are part mountain goat…
Much of the castle is now an art installation, a couple of shops, restaurants, cafes, and a puppetry museum! (more on that later…)
…continued in next post…
