The week I spent in Slovenia I stayed mostly in Ljubljana, so qualified to speak about this country I most certainly am <b>not</b>. My brief travels beyond this city however left me with a few lasting impressions. For example, as we drove up from Rijeka on the Adriatic coast and passed through the border from Croatia, the difference in the landscape was as sudden as it was unexpected. The rugged terrain that characterizes the eastern Mediterranean coastline and stamps Croatia indelibly with its Balkan identity, transformed - in what seemed the blinking of an eye - into lush verdant farmland. Being late summer, hay ricks populated the fields and the wooded hillsides were arrayed in as many hues of green as you could wish for. If ever you needed a reminder that the two countries were separate entities this was one you could never ignore, and if ever you needed evidence that you were passing from the ancient Roman Illyria into Europa Major then this is as strong a proof as you should ever need.
Thanks to a willing native I managed towards the end of my stay to spend an enjoyable day visiting the city of Celje and town of Lasko - home of the beer bearing the same name that had become a sort of fixture in my holiday. My impressions of Lasko can be found as a travelogue accompanying my Celje page ...
