A castle and caves in Slovenia
We are in Slovenia. We begin with two days of tourist activites in a national park. We explore Predjama castle, built into the cliff face and extents downwards having a series of caves.
We spend the night in our van 'Pat' parked in the official carpark ready to explore the Postojna caves. The caves are home to a rare salamander, it hosts concerts and has the only cave post office in the world.
Continue to join us on our European trip in 'Pat' our self converted car/van!!!!

Spending a few hours in Verona, a historical city with sights of the ruling, powerful Scala family is everywhere to be seen. We visit Juliet's balcony; a Shakespearean tale is reportedly loosely based on a love story between two powerful feuding families; Montecchi and Capuleti. Spoiler alert; this is not my favourite place in Italy. Sadly, this is NOT my favourite place in Italy and I don't th...

    Baseball is really a defensive game. Thats why the defense controls the ball. The strategies are the main thing many dont understand. Different situations dictate what they do. Not just the score but the players for instance a hitter with a high average gets pitched to differently than one with a low average. What inning it is makes a very big difference. I wont go on any farther. To see more watch the 2023 world series on RUclips.

    • @jollygeniussworld

      I was focussing so hard trying to understand the game, first one ever. I was lucky to have fans next to me that made a special trip over to watch the game who explained. I suppose if I was in the US I would get more involved. I must say I did like the atmosphere; both sets of fans were mixing together in within the stadium grounds--very different from football, so I am impressed there. Will certainly try an swatch ice hockey, basket ball and American football next time :)

Has a famous big green wall in left field to shield the street behind it known as the "Green Monster" and in 2003 they put seats on top of it that are like a canopy over the street behind it.

      Hi it was under 8 hours, if I remember correctly I think it was 6 hours. On arrival head straight to the harbour, take ferry and go up to Victoria Peak, then you can have the rest of the time shopping/sightseeing and make your way back to the airport. That is what I did, on hindsight I could have added more but I was worried about potential queues at immigration etc so I played safe. Enjoy your trip :)
