Beautifully written. Being moved to tears made it even worthwhile — I mean sometimes we travel “too much” we forget that it’s a privilege — and I also find myself smiling how poetry lead you to Slovenia.
Felt like I was right there myself! I now find myself checking flights to Slovenia. I’m amazed you haven’t mentioned how crowded it is, I mean, compared to the big names of Europe. Brilliant writing as always, looking forward to the next one!!
I can't say enough wonderful things about Slovenia! Definitely add it to your itinerary if you can. And now that you mentioned the crowds — Ljubljana is a LOT less busy than those other big cities. I hear the summer gets crazy but probably still less than the main destinations. Trieste was very crowded though, which I was surprised by!
P.S. I am not completely convinced that your recognition of Prešeren Square is possible only because of your encounters of it from travel guides or from the likes of photos etc. You obviously have some kind of connection with the place and it called for you to come, don’t you think?
Marko Pogačnik’s brother Miha is a famous violinist. He might just be there and could have a performance. Watch him at TEDxGLASGOW 2018 in YouTube. Amazing!
