Next on our Slovenian adventure was the capital city of
Ljubljana. A tiny city that would hold its own with any city around the world.
A reflection of the inner west but with more cool, full of fixed speeds and
black rimmed glasses, a true hipster paradise as bar and cafes spill onto the
streets creating this vibrantly exciting, avant-garde mood upon the ancient
streets of Slovenia’s political and economic capital. Having live concerts in
the park, watching dancing and strange jazz fusion whilst drinking beers and
eating cake, wandering around abandoned army bases that have been turned into
artists compounds adorned with street art, walking tours that rate in the top
three and eating. This last part is especially applicable to Ljubljana as it
has the best Open Food market in the world (huge call, but I’m making it, you
gunna stop me?). We decided that yes, we will eat our body weight in delicious
foods from around the world and yes we will drink exciting new alcoholic
beverages and insanely delicious Slovenian craft beers and yes we will be
goddammed excited about it!!
Slovenia was beautiful, inspiring, grungy, weird, sexy, cool
and by far one of my favourite places in the world. You have my vote.
