Here’s Mike and I ready to go out in Ljubljana. We actually decided to take a nap, so we could go out all night. It was Saturday, and we read Ljubljana boasts a great nightlife, and we wanted to be ready. We headed out at 10pm, and found that every restaurant in town was done serving food, except the Mexican restaurant–which was just as mediocre as the Mexican Post in Philly, except they served odd side dishes like corn cob, garlic bread and mashed potatoes with our burrito. Then we went to all of the “hipster” bars to find no one in them, so we headed back to the hotel by midnight. So much for our night out.

Today we crossed the border to Slovenia, and noticed the roads weren’t as nice as they are in Croatia. Reading all the travel message boards, people often complain about Slovenian roads. Actually, they complain about the roads that travel east/west, because they want to discourage travelers from going to Croatia. This, of course, is not part of Slovenia’s official tourism message boards, and personally, the roads were fine.

The first thing we did in Slovenia was go to the caves. I love caves, and this one was amazing. The Skocjan Caves are only a short drive from the Croatia/Slovenia border, and well worth the trip. The tour is about an hour and half. And at one point the guide turns the lights off, just so you get the feel of cave and the darkness.
