Slovenia on the way back


The idea of a tour d'est has been dozing in the back of my mind ever since I first heard about what was soon to become the former Yugoslavia. Follow the highway of brotherhood an unity from Ljubljana to Zagreb, pass Jasenovac, watch the concrete turn into a gravel piste until you enter the endless dark grey outskirts of Belgrade, the city that is white no more but grey. From there to Belagertessarajewo, follow the wind towards the sea then head into the mountains to Podgorica, Pristina, Skopje...
Well, Ljubljanas gentle cool breeze tickelt this idea and woke it up, now it is stretching and groaning as I do when I am getting up...

Venice in Winter

On my way back I felw out of Venice /Treviso airport and luckily, the cheapest flight back to Cologne was around 7pm, so I had a full day wandering Venice - right in time before teh Carnival and with a little less tourists... after a weekend of greyish snowish dizziness, Venice presented itself in the most magnificent sunshine...























Miramar Castle

Close to Trieste is Miramar Castle, errected for Kaiser Maximilian von Österreich..
