Welcome to Slovenia, one of the more prosperous former Yugoslav states.
In preparation for your eventual arrival to Croatia, please go ahead and relinquish the need for vowels.
Ljubljana may be short on vowels, but not on charm.

Don’t you just love these little places where people find to put locks? This one looks suspiciously contrived, judging from the amount and similar age of the many many locks.

We walked until we found ourselves in a modern, non-charming, regular ole real life workaday city street, whereupon Perri and I said something like,” Ew! This looks like real life! People going to work, buses ferrying people in suits. Let’s go back to fantasy land!” Fortunately, these two worlds in Ljubljana are only one street apart. This photo catches them alongside each other.
