It was raining, and the hotel lent me an umbrella. I rushed through the City Museum to get to the city tour on time. Ljubljana was pleasant, and their city tour was better and longer than Bratislava’s. There is also a lot at the castle; they are keeping it maintained and using it. There are multiple museums and art exhibits there.

Ljubljana was pleasant, and I would be happy to spend more time there. I think they should play up their dragon theme more. It is on the coat of arms and used here and there, including the Dragon Bridge, but I think it has more potential.

After lunch, I found a burek at Burek Olimpija. It was okay, but Croatia’s bureks are better.

I suppose this is some sort of art thing, but I do not get it. Google translates the Slovakian as “Area with its own weather.” The English on the sign says “The area with Ljubljana’s own weather.”
