    Wow, how green and beautiful Slovenia is! So exciting to explore this beautiful from your perspective. Renting a car to explore around is a great idea, definitely makes traveling around much easier and free! All the castles, the canyon, the church and every single spot you visited is so amazing! Love this video!

    Skodas have definitely come a long way in the last 10 years or so, they used to have a bad rep but we had one for a few years around five years ago and it was so robust.
    Craig loves those lawnmowers, our wedding venue had them which I swear helped sway him to choose it! 🤣
    Those orange rooftops look so familiar of the beautiful European old towns we love so much!

    • @LucasWorldTravel
      @LucasWorldTravel  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      We don’t have those lawnmowers in the states yet. We are behind the times! I never even heard of a Skoda before Slovenia. We’ve been missing out!

    Wow guys, so glad you hired a car (also, what an awesome rental!) and got to see these 2 beautiful towns 🥰
    Everything looks so perfect and straight out of a movie...loved the Brdo castle grounds, the green grass, the streams and ponds...just beautiful!
    Skofja is stunning...must’ve felt like you were walking in a fairytale town 😅 the castle on the hill with the cute cottages at the bottom ❤️ love the view from the church!

    Hey again guys!! Oh my goodness, this is taking us back to our 2021 summer when we ended up in Slovenia by accident but absolutely loved it!! That lawnmower - I am also equally amazed by it. The forests there are super beautiful, and the swans are so tame! These little towns are absolutely gorgeous, especially at sunset. Love how green everything, and the cute little houses. Thanks so much for taking us around!! What a wonderful day you must have had 🙌

    You are gathering beautiful memories as you go. I always get the feeling I'd like a week or two somewhere just so I can get to see more of what a place has to offer. It's a time thing though isn't it? You've shared some of the cherries on the cake so thank you for that. Have a great week. 🙏 🇳🇿🙋‍♀️🇳🇱

      We agree with you Anita 100%! We felt like we rushed through Slovenia. When we got to Croatia we slowed down though and started spending a full week in places and definitely enjoyed the experience much more. Thanks for watching and hope you have a great week yourself!

    • @LucasWorldTravel
      @LucasWorldTravel  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Glad you found the videos helpful! We spent 4 nights in Ljubljana, 4 in Bled, 2 in Maribor, and 2 in Piran. We actually wished for more time in Bled as it was so beautiful but we found it sufficient nonetheless.

    April has yet to drive a foreign car in a foreign country because Wayne always "has to do" the driving! We want one of those lawnmowers, so cool! Love the tree-lined paths! What exactly is the Plecnik Arcade? Lovely views indeed at 6:27. You know we always enjoy a visit to a castle!
