In the morning, I spent about an hour following Ljubljana’s “Roman Trail,” a sequence of signs marking remants of Emona, the Roman city that was here two thousand years ago. Then I took the river cruise that is included with the Ljubljana card, and then the tourist train. Later, I revisited the city museum for a few things I had missed in my first hurried visit.

Ljubljana made me wonder how many cities have both a modern skyscraper and an old castle?

The fish was cooked just right. I was impressed. Tender, not undercooked, not overcooked, and the coating was crisp.
