Slovenia Day 2/Tour Day

Today we went on a tour of the southwest part of the country. We went to a cave in Postojna, a castle in Stanjel (there is suppose to be a thiny on top of the S), and the shore in Piran. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.


The Driving was gorgeous. Of course it was har




Our first stop was this cave. The bottom picture is John and me by the sign for the cave. There is also a picture of all the people I know at the meeting on the train that goes through the cave and then some pictures of the cave





This is the castle we visited. We had some tastings there. The stair case is for my mom's interests

This is really creepy looking but really good chocolate given to us by a man from Russia here at the meeting.

This is a picture from the bus. Churches with tall towers like this were all over the place.



Sorry about the pictures not being rotated. These are all from around the castle. The views were breathtaking!

This is the town square at Piran.

A beautiful tree in Piran

This is me with my feet in the rather codldadriatic sea.

Again, sorry about the not being rotated. I liked the sail boat in the picture. The land in the back ground is croatia.

Because it was cloudy you could barely see Italy. In the horizon you can barely make out the coastline that is slightly darker than the sky. That is Italy. The peninsula is Slovenia on the side you can see and Italy on the other.
That was my day. After getting back we went out for a quick dinner of pizza and then came back to the hotel for the night. I talked to brett on Skype for a while and loved every minute of it.
