DAY 5 - WEDNESDAY 16 MARCH - CERKNICA TO LJUBLJANA

Last full day and we're headed back to the capital.  We've never seen so many logs, stacked up very neatly under cover...

Mind you, when you see the snow, you realise why so many chimneys and puffing out blue wood smoke

The car safely stashed at our hotel very close to the dragon bridge, we visited Preseren Square (named for Slovenia's leading romantic poet) with the 1660 Franciscan Church of the Annunciation

Ljubljana's mascot is the dragon, seen everywhere...
 

 

Lunch was fish and chips - a bit cold but very good indeed

And then up in the castle via the new funicular - yet more dragons and some lovely views over the city

In the castle museum is a copy of the Danse Macabre mural which we missed 2 days ago
