On a visit to the Castle we learned about the history of Slovenia. In a nutshell – Celts mugged by Romans mugged by Barbarians then Slavs. Along came the Hapsburgs and Austria-Hungarians. The WW1 (an Axis occupied territory and a battle ground with Italy. Then into Yugoslavia and coming out in 1990s.
Today the capital is melting with tourists and competitions for shade. A very compact and picturesque tourist trap centre. It proved to be an ideal rest spot – the inclination was to move slowly. If at all. Good food.
Tomorrow up and over the hills and descend into Italy.
