Mongo's Blog: Goodbye the Cobblestone Road) of Ljubljana)

For our last day in Ljubljana we decided to just have a slow kick around day. It started out blue skied and relatively warm. On our bus trip into town we didn't really know our stop and overshot it by quite a bit but it was a nice walk back into old town. I was able to get in a few sunny shots of the city before the clouds, rain and cold returned.

I spent a lot of time at the Dragon Bridge while Mary browsed the daily farmers' market. We went for a hot drink and a sweet at A Roma, a coffee shop recommended by a local. Mary is very happy that she has found the name of the big American sized coffee drink, bela kava, not that she ever remembers the words when she tries to order one but she's getting good at describing it to the waiters.
Because it was cold again we thought we'd try a museum. We decided on the Ethnographic Museum, a very quirky museum. The two displays we saw were Doors and Us and Others. I never knew there were so many different doors!

Right near the museum was Metelkova Park. This is an area centred around a hostel, Celica, that was once a prison.

The whole area has been opened to alternative art including graffiti and music. At night it turns into clubs and bars with very little , if any, police presence.

It was interesting to walk through a non-tourist district of the city and see some of the "old" Yugoslavia.

Later we walked back to town to Marley and Me, a quaint little restaurant where after our meal we had another cremesnitte can't get enough cremesnittes.
