From Vienna, Austria to Piran, Slovenia

After a day and a half in Vienna, we caught a train (with only 30 seconds to spare!) and headed south to Slovenia. Here's Weldon & Jenny relaxing. They were slumming it with the Shirks as they had a rail pass that was good for first class but we didn't so they decided they wanted to talk with us on the six hour train trip so they came down in the world to coach.
Here is some of the beautiful countryside we saw on the train ride. I'm not sure if this is Austria or Slovenia. Both are very green with lots of mountains.
After arriving in Ljubljana, Slovenia, we took a bus to the airport, rented a car and drove to the coast to a Hotel just outside of Piran.
Here is Hotel Fiesa where we stayed for two nights.
Here is one of the fishing boats right outside of our Hotel. We were right on the coastline. We could hear the lapping of the waves all night long. That makes for great sleeping.

Good to see pics of the countryside as well as Jenny and Weldon! :)

The hotel by the water looks like a grand place! Does the water lapping block out snoring??

Our trip was beautiful and a great cross-cultural experience as noted by traveling with commoners like E&P on the train. We had a great time with them!
