I can't believe I was the only (wrong) guess.. Where in Slovenia though?  It looked kind of familiar.. I've been to Yugoslavia many years ago when it was still Yugoslavia (and travelled on several trains there) .. Not sure why I thought it was Holland though!

Yikes - I hadn't seen you post Jo until Smokey just followed it up - sorry for my rudeness in not answering earlier!

Slovenia is indeed one of the former Yugoslav republics - the one that's nearest to Western Europe, adjoining Austria and Italy.   It's now a part of the EU» (European Union - about), and on the first of January this year (I'm still writing in 2007) adopted the Euro as its currency.    I was over there for a few days at the beginning of this month, giving a training course in the capital - Ljubljana - and took a few pictures, wrote a travelog and visited the Christmas Fare

In retrospect, it was probably an error to put up a non-British "Where's this". Looking around other forums, such items only get a tiny number of guesses even in places far busier than ours - I think people are interested first and foremost in their own area, then in the rest of the country, then in the rest of what they consider to be Western Europe.  So I missed out all around.  But I would recommend anyone whoo has a chance to take a visit to Slovenia - I certainly would jump at an opportunity to go back!

I've been to Lublijana (via train), quite a few years ago, which explains why it looked familiar..  I'd actually forgotten I'd ask the question, so didn't notice the lack of reply!

So have I, back in early 1991 just before Yugoslavia split up.

I did in 1987, when the train out of Lublijana (can't remember where I was going - Zagreb I think) was a very new state of the art train, with free food (well sandwiches) included in the price, air conditioning etc... We'd arrived there though on an old old train (ex German war time carriages or something we were told).. So quite a difference between the two..
