Sunny Sunday

Although it often rains this summer in Ljubljana, we did manage to catch one sunny day on Sunday. Though we couldn't fully escape from the rain since Ljubljana has its own weather area in the summer. This is an interesting project (by Zmago Modic) where in the middle of Prešernov square is a water installation where you can cool down underneath.





Ljubljana used to be a bit boring during the summer but this year there are many interesting things on offer. And the majority of them are free! Beside the free rain you can also:

- Ride with an old bike (called Velocipede) (if you have the guts - look at the third picture!)







- Rent a canoe for 1 hour (yes also for free), by the Ljubljanica river (organizer is Biosfera, they rent canoes from 15 till 20 during the week, during the weekend and holidays between 11 and 20, till September).



- Get your free Slovenia times and other tourist information on the street from the Ljubljana's postman



- Listen to a really great free music on the streets of Ljubljana (unfortunately I don't know the bands name, but they really did make a great atmosphere). And although the light wasn't very good for photographing (as Črt told me) I did manage to make some interesting photos from the street performance.

A great day in Ljubljana

We are spending much of our free/holiday time in Ljubljana this year. Usually we spend it abroad (Western Europe or Croatian coast) but this year writing our dissertation thesis kept us in Ljubljana for the summer. Earlier this week we decided to relax a bit so we went to Water park Atlantis, situated in the Ljubljana shopping area (BTC City). We took the ticket for Thermal Temple, but soon figured out that besided more peace and quiet it doesn't offer much more than a baseline ticket for Adventure world. We really had fun though, enjoying the bubbles (massage pools), the adventure pool and steam sauna. Afterwards we headed for the city centre to get some more sea holidays flavour. We went to a fish reastaurant Operna klet near Ljubljana Opera house, Parliament and National Gallery right in the city centre. Day ended with the free outdoor Yoga, which is held in the Tivoli park during this summer, following the example of bigger European and American cities. I have never before attended any Yoga classes but I found it really nice and relaxing and a perfect way to end a great day in Ljubljana.
