Slovenia: Postojna and Lipica

An early start to travel to amazing underground caves at Postojna. After a short chilly train ride into the caves, we walked through cavern after cavern, each one more spectacular than the last. Mystical stalactites and stalagmites above us and beneath us, inspiring awe at the patient artistry of nature. Masterpieces carved and constructed drop by drop over millions of years. Lunch included wine tasting at a restaurant with local food of cheese and prosciutto and pork with regional wine. Saw a castle imbedded in a cave on the way to spend the afternoon at Lipica to learn about the stud farm that has bred Lipizzan stallions for generations. Complete with a dressage show and a ride in a carriage. The spring blossoms and newly grown grass so peaceful.
