After Budapest we spent two nights in Ljubljana, Slovenia, staying with our friends the Johnson's, fellow Olmsteders. They were cool enough to give us a tour of the city, including the lovely old town and the castle.
Slovenia is a beautiful country. We highly recommend it. Ljubljana is a relatively small city (quarter million or so), but is very pretty. And, like the rest of Slovenia that we've seen, it seems to be nestled in amongst scenic hills and mountains. On our way from Ljubljana to Croatia we visited the Postojna caves -- very cool. It has 5km of caves that you can tour, via a rail and on foot. A huge win -- thanks to Paweł, one of my Polish friends, for the suggestion.
