Slovenia Up Close

We wanted to see Slovenia again. We were struck by the changes after Tito. Ljubljana has become splendid. The Castle tastefully restored, the riverfront lined with small restaurants, a lively but not chaotic life. Lipica with its horses looks like a fairy tale. The famous stables are well worth a visit. Maribor is still a little run-down, but clearly on the rise as a Central European town. It's worth visiting the Postojna caves too (the most famous), but above all the less famous ones near Kozina and the Italian border: Skocjanske Jame.
