Ljubljana (a difficult name)

Despite not knowing how to say the name, we managed to get on a bus from Croatia to Slovenia's capital, which we have since learned is prounounced 'Loob-lee-arna' (or thereabouts). This is one pretty place, and we found that sipping on some caffeinated beverages in the square was an ideal way to pass the afternoon before the sun went down, when we could head to the riverside terrace bars and hit the reds.

The slow flowing river is like a mirror in places

There's some amazing in-situ artwork around town - this is a church door
