Andrew and I got back this week from our latest - and possibly nicest - trip: through northern Italy and Slovenia. It started off with a bang, as our flight out of Aalborg was late, causing us to be late for our connecting flight to Venice. We landed in Amsterdam with only a few minutes until the next flight was taking off, so we were literally sprinting through the airport to catch it. Luckily, we made it to the gate just in time, out of breath, but relieved; our bags, however, weren't so lucky, and spent the night in Amsterdam without us. Missing out on a planned night in Trieste, we picked up our bags at the airport the next morning and got back on track, driving to Trieste on Thursday morning instead. It was a beautiful seaside town, and we managed to tour the castle and an art museum there before heading on to Ljubljana, Slovenia. With a castle, a well-preserved old town, charming little side streets, and a gorgeous view of the mountains, Ljubliana was a fantastic city to explore for a few days.
On our way back into Italy, we stopped at Lake Bled in northern Slovenia, which was hands down one of the most beautiful places we've ever been. We spent the day walking around the area, hiking up to the castle perched above the lake.
We drove back to Venice on Saturday, where we stayed for the next few days. Andrew was attending a conference while I hit the beach and explored the city with his cousin, David, who was also in town for a few days. More on Venice and northern Italy later, but in the meantime, photos of Trieste are
