Slovenia looks beautiful and I’d like to see it sometime, although probably more so the NW part with the Julian Alps and Lake Bled than the Melania tour.

It is really beautiful. Bled is very nice but Kranjska Gora is wonderful. Ljubljana the capital also very nice.

The founders of Novo Mesto must not have been very imaginative when it comes to picking a name. It means "New Place."

The Ohio Republican politician George Voinovich (1936-2016) was half-Slovenian by descent.

I have been through parts of Slovenia by train or bus--all very scenic. Haven't been to Lake Bled but have visited the Postojna cave--I think it is the largest cave in Europe, or the second-largest. The last Bourbon king of France, Charles X (reigned 1830-1836), is buried in Slovenia.
