Slovenian Tourism part 1

Still recovering from the weekend with Val and Simon. It's nice to be both a tourist and a tourist guide in your own country at the same time, but it can be a bit tiring as well.

But it's always nice to hear all the comments about the beauty of our country.

So what did we do exactly? Saturday was rafting on Krka, a short stop in Zuzemberk and Novo mesto. Then longer stops in Pleterje monastery and Kostanjevica. It all ended with a party evening in my hometown Celje.

Sunday started with a quick tour of Celje and a visit to Celje castle. I love what they're doing with this castle. They've been renovating it for a few years now and they've really done a good job so far. Can't wait to see the end product.

From Celje we went to Olimje monastery and visited the deer farm and the microbrewery in the area. No tour is complete without a stop at a brewery or winery as Simon observed.

We ended our tour at a tourist farm in Rogaška Slatina. Homemade cheese, salami and bread. Wow, fantastic!

Haven't downloaded the photographs from the camera yet.
