SLOVENIJA ljubljana.bled (yay for dragons!)
my first stop in eastern europe! or so i thought. . .as the hostel owner made sure to correct me and inform me that slovenia is actually central europe. . .and i soon realized how true this was. visibly annoyed, he says most people that come through believe so just because it is not one of the “main” european countries. way to piss him off before checking in, right? ok so now i know. anyway, he turned out to be super nice and the hostel was fantastic. ‘aladin hostel’-with the logo looking like the film cover but the interior decoration looking nothing like the name. i met some cool people there-fun girls from wales (no surprise, as i have not gone TWO DAYS in the last eights months without meeting an oz or someone from the uk. . .they are EVERYWHERE!) and a couple of cool dudes from sweden.
and so it turns out slovenia has a happening night life! the coolest club we went to was up a clear elevator to the rooftop, which was open and letting in the warm breeze. the music was not half bad, and we ended up staying out till the morning. i wish seattle clubs were open past two!
i wish i spent more time in slovenia. . .most specificly in bled. lake bled is brilliant! (haha ok another lake, i know) there is a castle on the high cliffs and then an island in the middle of this huge lake just big enough to fit a church. picture perfect. kinda like a bob ross painting-with lots of ‘happy trees’ and the only thing missing was a lone cabin. how cool is that?
oooh two more reasons ljubljana is worth checking out: green dragons statues on the bridge, and a sprinkler system in the center (kinda like in the veggie section) that gently sprays water from ten metres above you. ABSOLUTELY clutch on a hot day.
