12th Ljubljana marathon

This Sunday a traditional 12th Internatinal Ljubljana marathon was held in the centre of Ljubljana. Despite bad weather conditions more than 8000 runners applied for marathon, halfmarathon and recreational run.

It was a great event and hopefuly someday I too will join the runners.

Ljubljana in august

Lots is happening in Ljubljana these days. There is the Trnfest festival in Trnovo part Ljubljana with a bunch of daily evening events (ending on the 1st of September). We went there for a stand-up comedy evening, but there were too many people there and we couldn't hear the comedians, so we quickly went on.
Then there is the sixth annual festival Sanje in the center of Ljubljana, dedicated to poetry and music with events at the Zvezda park, Pločnik coffee shop and other places in Ljubljana and around (ending on 31st of August). The picture is from Festival sanje, the concert of the group Ankaran. They were playing old songs of Frane Milčinski - Ježek and it was nice and relaxing to listen to them for a while.


And there is the "Dipping of the cheating bread baker" every (?) Saturday at 10:30 on Šuštarski bridge, where they symbolically reproduce the event, that was considered punishment for bakers whose loafs where lighter than claimed. Didn't see that one yet, but I will keep it in mind and hopefully do that sometime.
