More Adventures for Flat Susan
Here she is on her way up the funicular to the castle in Ljubljana. I must admit we held her ever so tight, and her legs shook, as she was a wee bit scared of heights!

She was happier at the top where we sat in the sun, enjoyed cake and coffee then later an ice cream. Dolores missed the treats (just look at those cakes!) as she had to go into work that day.
Here she is on the ramparts with me and I'm wearing the lovely top Dolores bought me in Italy, for my June birthday. She kindly allowed me to wear whilst I was there. Thanks so much Dolores, I love it!!
The market was just near the bottom of the funicular and was interestingly different to ours in England.
We bought delicious dark cherries from the lovely man who'd had picked them and in the bag there were lots of "twins" like this one.
It was amazing to see vegetables in such bright colours...look at those pink speckled beans!?
The inside market sold cheeses, meats and bread away from the outside heat.
There was also a stall selling glasses of wine and these were often in shopping centres. Never short of customers.
I love the door of this church...
This is the portal of a bank!
The fantastic doorway of the parliament building
There seems to be a tradition to throw training shoes high up in certain places onto cables. WHY?
A beautiful yet a quaint capital city with so much to see and do and a lovely atmosphere. It's so vibrant and sophisticated and it's hard to believe only 2 million people live in the whole of Slovenia!
Still to come the trips to the caves and the lakes. Flat Susan was having so much fun!

Susan was having such a lot of fun - hope she let you have a glass or two of that wine! Fab photos Jo.
oh Jo I am glad Susan made her trip up high...what gorgeous photos - I love the brightly coloured market stalls. I still remember the one in Barcelona I saw. Look forward to the next instalment.
Beautiful photos Jo,love the Art Nouveau bank portal. Your top is so pretty as well, mind you if you wore it here at present you are likely to develop hypothermia.
Thanks for your postcard and the update. Looking forward to seeing you Saturday, get the woolies out though.
