Ljubiljana: capital of Slovenia

Our last day (for the moment, cause we would come back in this trip to Slovenia) before leaving we did spend in the capital. We woke up in the city hotel of Ljubiljana, which is a pretty nice hotel, and we had a breakfast that was delicious, we really could eat plenty of things. You woulnd't leave the table there with an empty stomach. The hotel was very modern. We received a badge and only had to let it scan in the elevator and we were brought to the right floor without us having to push buttons. After breakfast they even did roomservice, which was unnessary because we only did pay for one night. We even gave a tip to the maid, but afterwards there's another storry attached to that... (I'll tell you later).

Ljubiljana is a nice city. A bit weird in some aspects. For example at a cerain point in the city you have 3 bridges next to one another. That really did look funny to me.

We went up to the Ljubljanski grad (grad means castle in the local language). There Rien and me went up in a tower. He had to speak some encouraging words since my fear of hights seemed to kick in at a certain point. After visiting the tower we also saw a presentation with the history of the city.

After some touring in the city we left for Croatia. It still took us a while driving. Besides they were not friendly at all at the boarder. Rien and Huguette's BMW was inspected pretty well, it looked like they never had seen a similar car before, because several needed to see the engine, of course we don't know what they all talked about, not a single word of croatian we understood. They also did annoying about Eliana's babypassport, which did not seem to be the right one. I just didn't like the way we were treating, it sure did look like abuse of power. Anyways, the most important part was that they let us go into the country. Cause it still took us a while to drive. We arived at a nice pension for a real good price. The advantage there was also that we had 2 rooms. That was nice since we could talk some more while Eliana would be sleeping.

And then the thing I still needed to tell you about the good service we got in the cityhotel in ljubiljana. Rien couldn't find his pyjamas. And after talking about it, ... we came to the conclusion that the maid must have put his jamas under his pillow this morning. I know cause I found mine there, but neither Rien and Huguette had been looking there. Rien his jamas were gonne. The maid not only received a tip, she had gotten some jamas as well.... lol.

We ended the day by looking to a movie: facing the giants.
