Ljubljana is only a small city of 300,000 people and relatively new so there isn’t a huge amount to see, but it has a nice feel to it and it’s great being able to walk to everything.
We first took the pups for a long walk around Tivoli City Park. It’s free to park there on a Sunday and there were lots of people out jogging, dog walking or out with kids.
We then ventured into the centre to see the many bridges, castle, weird bubble hat sculpture, cool Cyanometre which records the colour of the sky and changes colour to match it and eat out at Organic Garden. We got a bit of a shock with the prices, everything is really expensive again so it’s back to penny pinching and eating at home especially with Italy next on the trip list.
One thing to note was that I found their sculpture rather unusual and quite dark, sometimes almost sinister. To be fair though in Kjlucavnicarska ulica in the lane of faces I did spot a few pulling tongues.
The highlight was visiting Metelkova Art Center, which is a creative hub of artists near the museums. It was sadly closed and quiet being Sunday but still great to walk around.
The dull stuff
Well every home has chores and ours is no different. After a trip to Lidl it was laundry time. While Mark waited at the laundrette for our crazy amount of washing, I cleaned the van, planned the meals and made up a few for the week ahead (bolognese, vegetable soup, mushroom and black bean bruschetta, spicy cauliflower florets and a healthy snack pot of nibbles for me). I’m always happy to share recipes and try new ones if you have any vegan ones you recommend.
Having slipped into winter blubber gain mode, I’ve roped my niece into keeping me disciplined. I need to rediscover my love of healthy eating and exercise to balance out some chocolate naughty treats 😋
