After our time in India we traveled to Slovenia to visit Zvonimir’s family. We were pretty drained after our trip from Delhi-London-Munich-Ljubljana!    We changed locations every few days in India so we were pretty happy being lazy and relaxing in Slovenia. Unfortunately, the hot temperatures followed us to Slovenia and Z had a bit of a cold so we relaxed at home and didn’t do very much.

Our suitcase From India smelled pretty bad (we had done laundry in the sink in India but I guess we were still pretty smelly!).  Luckily we had sent a suitcase back to Slovenia with his parents (who came to the states for graduation) so this gave us fresh clothes.  We had traveled in India with a very small pullman suitcase with 3 outfits and were happy to have more clothing choices!

I finished 4 books.  We attended a Slovenian Independence day concert  (they were at war for 10 days in 1991).  We also spent time visiting the excellent fruit markets in Ljubljana and hiking.

We had never visited the eastern part of Slovenia so we decided to take a day trip to Ptuj.  Slovenia is a pretty small country so you can get to most cities within the country in under 2 hours.   The drive to Ptuj was beautiful.  We visited wine country, saw hops and sunflower farms.

We visited Z’s father’s birthplace in Murter, Croatia as well as the family house in Kornati National Park.  Murter is a fairly quiet town on the coast of Croatia.   We took advantage of the great beaches and spent a lot of time swimming in the sea
