Discovering Slovenia

I recently traveled to Slovenia. Although I had been to the Alpi Giulie some time ago, while negotiating snowy roads I had missed the magical beauty that spring brings to this section of Eastern Alps

Pictured here is the race hill of Kranjska Gora, which during summer doubles up as grazing pastures. I had not seen the unusual combination of cows and snow making equipment, before.

Hiking higher into the mountains is a truly worth while experience.












This Kranjska Gora restaurant, a favorite of Christian's due to its varied meat selection, served an excellent local version of Carpaccio.

On the South Western corner, along the tiny portion of Mediterranean coast, is Portoroz

Anka and I at the Marina

and boating.

Anchored at Marina Portoroz, our friends' boat fleet, Jonathan Yachting,
is another example of Slovenian unpretentious elegance and refined simplicity

And then, there is Piran,

... inviting, beautiful, undisturbed ...
