Opatija, Croatia...Easter!...then back to Slovenia.

And off to Croatia!.....We were supposed to be arriving at Opatija at 3 in the afternoon....but unfortunately missed our train stop. After that, it went down hill. We waited around for the bus...only to get off at the wrong stop. We luckily found a great tourist office that did us absolutely no good. We did however find a taxi that promised to take us to our hotel for 5 euros but ended up saying we owed him 50 once we arrived. Jess and I were all arms...and talked him down to 10. The hotel was really nice and right by the beach. Opatija is gorgeous but mostly filled with older couples traveling. We walked into breakfast on Easter morning and were by far the youngest people there!



On the coast

We saw this dog just taking a ride. He is wearing sunglasses if you look closely!


Me on the Adriatic Sea.



Our hotel view.

It was only a short visit to the coast before it was back to Slovenia to experience my first white Easter ever!



Ljubljana, Slovenia (I'm still having to use spell check!)


Our walk back in the snow!



First time trying lamb.


They kept on telling us..."Green Christmas=White Easter"....I'm assuming they had a really Green Christmas!


The day after Easter, Jess wanted to see Lake Bled. So we jumped on a bus to the small village surrounding the lake.



Lake Bled, Slovenia



The vegan restaurant that we ate at had this hanging....I thought it was pretty cool.


The walking path around the lake. So beautiful!



The trip was amazing! An awesome way to spend my first Easter away from home!
