One of the most impressive castles in Croatia, Trakoscan Castle dates back to the 13th century and reflects myriad architectural styles and restorations over its 800 year history. We were greeted by some rather jaded knights and elderly ladies in waiting dressed to the nines in hooped dresses and pointy shoes. Some of the actors invited us to join in a folk dance, and you know I was the first one to jump up and join the festivities!

Our final destination today was the beautiful city of Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia and situated at the base of the Julian Alps. This proved to be my absolute favorite city on the tour with its green spaces, youthful vibe, vitality, and cleanliness (noted as the cleanest city in Europe). Below are many pictures of our free time walking tour on our first afternoon there.

To cap off this exciting day, the group chose to eat at a local restaurant that featured Slovenian goulash. I wish I could replicate it in my kitchen because it was absolutely delicious! One of the most memorable meals on our trip.
