Croatia to Slovenia

Okay so visiting the lakes in Croatia was unbelievable. The scenery was so calm and picturesque. It was very cold but i think it's better when it's cold. There were no other tourists around when we were walking. It was quiet and peaceful. In summer the place would be mental. The bus ride to get to the lakes was a 3 hour hike, which sucked apart from the pretty scenery along the way. The towns are all so cute. They have little white houses with red roofs that are all uneven looking.
We passed a town that looked like rivendale from lord of the rings. It wad crazy, the whole town was built in a valley and the houses were literally built with the river flowing through them. It's still fall here in Croatia so the scenery was so beautiful. There are orange, red and yellow leaves everywhere and the paths are laced with fallen leaves. The lakes are a must when visiting Croatia.
The lake trip was yesterday, so today was our last day in Zagreb Croatia. We headed to Ljubljana Slovenia on the train today. In the morning me wondered around Zagreb and took in some more of the city.
The train ride to Slovenia was scenic also. The train travels along the side of the mountains. So on one side of the train is a mountain and the other side is a river. So there was plenty to look at on the 2 and a half hour train ride.
Upon arrival at the train station Louise and I promptly got lost but this time only briefly and we were able to self correct fortunately. This hostel is very nice, it's clean and the beds are way nicer and less creaky! We arrived late in the arvo so we spent the evening waking around the city. There is so much to look at. It's lovely. The architecture is incredible. We even saw our first castle!! Impressive! Hopefully tomorrow we will see another castle or two.
