Postojna, Slovenia ... June 26-27, 2009

We left early Friday morning and drove through Austria and into Slovenia, arriving at Postojna in the early afternoon. Postojna is in the southwest corner of the country, less than 50 KM from the Italian border. Here they have the longest cave system of the country, created by the Privka river. They have built a "tourist train" that takes you deep into the cave a couple of kilometers, then we were guided on foot for another couple of kilometers. It was quite fascinating and perfect for the kids. We even got to wear the "cloak of invisibility" to keep us warm, considering the temperatures were in the 50's in many places in the cave.
We stayed at the hotel just outside the entrance to the cave, so it was very convenient for us.
