Sometimes we have nothing to report, no tale to tell. It happens. When there is no wind, there’s pretty much nothing we can do about it. Slovenia in general is … ehm, wind-challenged. And so are the b...

A medieval "forštat" - vorstadt, faubourg - is a liminal quarter; not in the (walled) city proper, not a suburb either. We flew above the oldest forštat of Ljubljana: Saint Peter's.

Bonus: the most iconic bridge we have! :-)
