    We're loving Slovenia so far! We're venturing South to travel around the Balkan countries, let us know if you have any recommendations - we're about to visit lot's of countries we've never been to before! We'll be daily vlogging here on out. Also thank you for all your love and support on the last video, your comments helped us a lot ♥

    The pastry fail is probably filled with poppyseed or a plum butter (for lack of a better word?) and quark (white part). Here in Austria we have a plum butter that's been stewed for hours and is put into all kinds of sweet dishes. From Germknödel (steamed bun) to danish pastries (Powidlgolatsche) or just used like a jam/marmelade.

      Ohh right, it might have been poppy seed, I feel like I would’ve enjoyed plum butter! That sounds really nice 😂

    I hope, when you went to our castle, you went to the most south-west part of it as well, because that side of the wall faces the city, and gives the clearest view upon it and the Celje Basin.

    I love Slovenia. I've travelled all over the world and it remains my favourite.
    Too tips, when in Ljubljana go to the castle for great views of the city. Then go for pizza at Ljubljanski dvor. They delicious and MASSIVE if you get the biggest size. You're meant to share them but we had one each. It took me two days to finish mine!
    Definitely go to lake bled too. Paddling across the lake to the church was probably the most picturesque place I've ever visited. Other things to do are have a nice walk along Vinegar Gorge and visit Bled Castle that has beautiful views of the lake and nearby mountains. When you're at the castle be sure to have a kremna rezina at the cafe. It a speciality pudding for the area. Pizzeria Rustika is also worth visiting. They do a burger where the pizza bun is made of pizza dough (very delicious).
    Other top tips, Piran by the coast is beautiful, Škocjan caves are also definitely worth a see as they are massive.

    I grew up with 3 dogs in my life. 2 of them my parents had put to sleep when I was 12 years old both on the same day too. But I knew why since their health was drastically failing in both the 13 year old dog and the 18 year old dog. My dog who was the youngest of the 3 dogs I lost and was devastated by when she passed when I was 18 years old. She was only 12 or 13 years old when she passed. And it took me quite a few months to be alirght after she passed. I am glad to see you both enjoying the great views of the cities/town you get to explore!

    Another great vid! Looking forward to your trip around the Balkans - My family and I used to holiday in this area when I was a kid and it was called Yugoslavia! From memory the best places to visit included Dubrovnik in Bosnia, Split and Zagreb in Croatia and Belgrade in Serbia, although nearly 40 years and a war have gone past since I was there and I am sure things have changed a lot! One recommendation I do have is to eat the spicy local sausage they have there called Cevapcici - one of the tastiest things I have ever eaten!♥👍

    • @AlwaysAway
      @AlwaysAway  6 місяців тому +1

      My grandparents lived here when it was Yugoslavia so it’ll be interesting to see more! I expect we’ll visit some of those cities, I’m looking forward to the coast too, hopefully it doesn’t get too hot 😅 but we will find some spicy sausage, sounds perfect!!
