We started off our morning by going to Ljubljana Castle. Ascending up the insanely steep hill we were out of breath with the quick change in altitude when we got to the top. The view although pretty was mainly covered by overgrown tress. Even at the top of the castle the people of Ljubljana still were proudly wearing medieval costumes and had stations were you could fight a night or shoot an arrow. Inside the castle they had an exhibition where they showed the renovations that took place over the castles, as Andrea mentioned, the majority of the castle didn’t look the same as the prior photos. In fact the inside of the castle was very modern and seemed to have been converted for the appeal of tourists. Since there was a very open connect floor plans, gift shops and restaurants win side it.
Heading down the hill we made our way to Tivoli Park. It was huge and we lost a little sidetracked of where the museum we wanted to go to by all the vendors and sorts centres there were. Eventhough online we saw that finding the Museum of Contemporary History it was as if they didn’t want the public to know about it. When we finally made it inside we were literally the only ones there besides just two employees. It was a really nice museum, a lot of the information was just more in detail and comprehensive. Its hard to believe that the country was only founded in 1991! And it still has more history of Vancouver although in the past it was owned by 10 different empires/ countries.
We then went on grab some lunch and dinner for the train. This proved to be a bit challenging since the grocery stores are closed in Sunday, but we were able to manage. After having a rather late lunch we walked around the town a bit more before catching out strain back to Vienna.
