Piran, Slovenia- Day

Sept 28/29: OHH PIRAN! Take me back! This place probably takes the cake for the favorite location of the trip. It was a fun change of scenery to go to the coast and be by the water and the weather and costal vibes were pretty unreal. This place felt a lot like italy, and the food there was just as good. We had a great time wondering and eating our way through Piran and jumping in the water a couple times. I took my camera out for a morning stroll at sunrise and have lots of pictures of this dreamy town. 




















I spy Ashley! 
 



It was really cool seeing Italy and Venice and our beloved Chioggia right across from us! I felt like there was a lot of Italian influence in Piran.

Predjama Castle- Slovenia Day 4

Sept 28, 2025: On our way to the coast, we stopped at Predjama Castle in the morning, which we lovely renamed to “Pajama Castle” for simplicity’s sake!  The castle is built directly into the mouth of a cave, and seeing it in person is just as neat as the photos make it look it, this one surpassed all expectations.

We decided to do the tour, and I’m really glad we did.  The history is cool, especially learning how the cave system played a role in the castle’s survival. It’s one of those places where the setting alone feels unreal, and then the history just layers on top of it and being able to explore so much of the castle and caves. I was really glad this day to be traveling with the one and only Ashley, who is a full-on castle loving girl and was glad she was keen on going and checking out this neat place.
