As soon as we crossed into Slovenia (an EU country) we could see we were in for a treat regarding scenery. The border was a ‘drive-straight-through’ and buy a vignette for the car. This is instead of paying tolls. Slovenia is only 20,000 sq km and 85% of it is covered with vegetation, with 2 million people. It is also a very mountainous country and it hasn’t been subjected to major wars. So all in all we knew we were in for a treat.
The country only has 45 kms coast line between Croatia and Italy, but it’s a beautiful part of the country. We drove through it from Croatia on our way to Trieste.
Our 1st stop after travelling over excellent roads was Ljubljana with 280,000 people of which there are 65,000 students. It’s the main university in the country. Other than an administrative building for the Uni, which is now housed in the old Parliament House, all the faculties are separate and sprinkled throughout the town – great concept.
