Well, today was an organized shopping tackle for the right gifts for Xmas during our trip. However, yesterday we really went through the Xmas markets and I have scored a one of a kind knit hat, fun new scarf (reminiscent of Sally NBXmas character) and unique laser etched, hand painted birch earrings. The street decorations were beautiful and I loved seeing all of it. Can’t wait to tackle some caves with the boys tomorrow.

There’s the castle up there.

I understand that this part of Slovenia as more of an Austrian influence in their architecture especially in the older part of the city.

Here we’re all standing on the triple bridge facing the castle.

Beautiful Christmas tree!

Here is where we found the Ice Queen and her entourage. We still haven’t been able to spy Santa.

And yes, there are more dragons. This is the Dragon Bridge.

The view down the river at night with less spooky fog.

This street was neat and they were playing classical music as well.

My new earrings.
