Welcoming the Spring in Ljubljana

Greeting from the sunny Slovenia! 

Tivoli Park

Yes fellas, you have read rigth, sunny Ljubljana, we have been under degrees all week long, for almost 2 weeks... it's amazing !! I would have never imagined it could be that hot during end of March beginning of April. you know what they say, 'la primareva, la sangre altera', well, it does't really apply here 'literally', the sunshine really made people go out, the city is full of people in summery clothes to bear whit the heat, families taking evening walks in the parks with their little children, couples kissing under the trees, terraces are full of people having an ice-cream or a beer and even people hanging around in Tivoli park, is simply lovely. After suffering a -20 degrees winter, this is our reward, altough some Slovenians told me not to get too excited with the weather, because the rain season is about to come, so we have to enjoy the sun as much as we can.

Me, my bike and Tivoli Park

As I mentioned before, with this amazing weather, why don't just hang out and get some sunbathe in Tivoli Park, or just simply enjoy a picnic with your friends, or even play freesbie.

But only hanging out in Tivoli is a must, taking the bike and see the city around is also very gratificating, which I did, and it reminded myself that I barely have pictures of the city I am living in, so I decided to take the camera, and make lots of pictures, taking advantage of the sunny days.

Čopova ulica, (la calle Preciados para los madrileños) 

Ljubljianica River, ¿el Manzanares?

Or why not go with some Erasmus friends is go to the city centre, sit on a terrace and enjoy a cup of coffee (iced-cofee, beer or ice-cream also applies and they would be even a better choice), or go to Nebotičnik, one of the highest building in Ljubljana (12 floors), and hit the terrace/lounge on the top floor to enjoy the amazing views Ljubljana can give you, 

The Castle and surroundings

As you can see, these past weeks have been great, enjoying the sun, getting relaxed and tanned and of course meeting new people, more Erasmus and even more Slovenians, which one of them has showed me where can u get one of the best ice-creams in town, this is in Trubarjieva Street, where an Albanian makes amazing 'gelato' for just 1 euro each scoop. If you try, you will go back again for sure!

The Dragon Bridge, and the Castle on the back

What else can I tell you about these past weeks, lots of paperworks to do for university, some exams to study for, but managing all well to take some time out for swimming a little bit, and going out partying of course !

This week is going to be expected with more partying, (I want to welcome back Erika, a Hungarian Erasmus from the first semester, that came to LJU to visit us), more hanging out in Tivoli, more partying in Compañeros, and why not some barbecue or even going to the seaside during the weekend, if the weather keeps beinng sunny of course. We'll see.


1 abrazo !!
