Small Slovenia

I have wanted to see Slovenia since 2007 when we first did RVing in Europe but for reasons I already forgot, we were not able to.  Last year, it was not on our route so we missed seeing the country again.  This year it is country No. 1 on our route - finally.

After suffering the diesel prices in Italy which was over Euros1.7, it is a great source of happiness when we filled up our tanks at Euros1.33 a liter.  So we started off on a happy note in Slovenia.  The country is clean, people are friendly I think - due to the fact that we did not feel threatened nor felt racial bias.

We went to the capital Ljubljana and parked in a mall outside the city called Super Nova Mall.  We like hanging out in malls and supermarkets and one of my favorites is E.Leclerc which was the one in the shopping area near the mall.  In France which E.Leclerc originated from, it sells the cheapest diesel and food and grocery prices are the lowest.

Slovenia's capital must-see's pale in comparison to the grand and even not so grand cities of Europe we have seen so far so there is nothing to write about.


We spent 7 nights in Slovenia free-camping all nights in service stations and the mall parking lot.

I would like to start writing basic but important details of the countries we visited like the following:

Slovenia - capital Ljubljana
Currency - Euros
Size - 20,000 square kms
Population - 2.057M

I say small in comparison to the size of:
Canada - 9,976,000 square kms
Philippines - 300,000 square kms
