A Train Ride Through Slovenia. . . .
I have another friend visiting this week, this time from Bordeaux, and while I'm showing her around Vancouver, I thought you might like to look through a train window at Slovenia. These are photos I took just a few weeks ago, following The Man in Seat 61's directions for travelling by train from Venice to Zagreb. (We broke the journey with an overnight stay in Ljubljana -- I'll show you photos of that lovely city later).
I have no idea whether Slovenia dries out with summer heat later in the season, but as you can see, when we rode through it was ever so verdant, lushly green. . . .
You might wonder that I could tear my eyes away from this scenery at all, but I did do some reading on the train, and I posted about a few of the books I read over the last few weeks of travel. If you're looking for some new titles to pick up at your library or bookstore, have a peek here
And now, if you don't mind, I'd better get ready to play Tour Guide. I had a few hours with my friend yesterday evening, but I only have a few more this morning before the conference she's here for begins.
Oh, and maybe don't tell Lisa or Sue, but I finally managed to get some sunshine going for a visitor. L. has arrived from Bordeaux where it's currently 38 degrees, so she probably wouldn't have minded some rain, some coolness. But we Vancouverites are positively thrilled to see the sunshine, and the beaches were already filling up as L. and I strolled beside them last night.
Whoops! Have to confess that I ran off, right here, because I looked at my watch and realized I was late for my Tour Guide gig. We've been on the beaches again, and we've strolled through the Museum of Anthropology, and we've nattered all the way through lunch at one of the many brewpubs in my neighbourhood, and I've just hugged my friend good-bye, hoping that I might get one more visit before she flies home this weekend, knowing that if not, well, SIGH, I'll just have to head to Bordeaux again for a visit. . . .
Meanwhile, I've quite enjoyed reviewing my photos of our train ride through Slovenia, and I hope you have as well. I'd love to hear from any of you who have spent time there.
For now, though, I'm going to have a quick nap -- a wonderful prerogative of retirement! -- so I'll leave you with these photos.
