We had a good guides on all three of our excursions in Slovenia and Croatia, the one here in Slovenia was probably the best one and provided a lot of background history on the 2 hour drive from the port at Koper to Ljubljana. She really went out of her way to emphasize how all the religions get along now while the Croatian guides still said there are issues underneath the surface. Similar to Trieste, Ljubljana was a mid-size city that was very compact and had a lot of pedestrian areas and very Hapsburg inspired and very Austrian. I was a bit surprised that there were no pictures of Luka or Melania – two very prominent Slovenians right now.

Ljubljana
Very picturesque town – so we then had a choice to wait in line for a funicular to go to a castle at the top of a mountain or find a place to eat a decent lunch then explore the town some more – we chose the food. We ate at one of the famous places – very Germanic with heavy stews and beef with sauerkraut.
Koper
Once back in Koper, we had a little time to explore the town, climb the belltower, and walk along the shore. Nice little town but would have been a bit boring for a 8 hour shore trip.
