The drive down to Portoroz was beautiful. The roads appear to be paved yesterday, the tunnels and bridges are also in pristine condition. It reminds me of how the roads, tunnels and bridges back home are band-aided together. It is an area where we need to spend some serious cash. Enough of politics.

Exquisite views and although the food sounds delicious, and believe me it was, it was simply prepared. It takes a true chef to bring out the flavors of the fresh food he or she is preparing. That is exactly how I like to eat. Nothing fancy but just good.

Nighttime movie

In the yard of the hotel, there were lounge chairs set up for the outdoor movie being shown, Casino Royal. It was a perfect nightcap.

Hotel Breakfast
Jul 26, 2009

In all the places we have been in through out the world, this might have been the best buffet breakfast ever. Wonderful croissants, breads, eggs made right there, cereals, fresh fruit, lox, an entire table devoted to jellies. And the most important thing, wonderful coffee.

After having probably 2 of the top meals in the country over the past few days, this really didn't compete but it was fun and not bad.

Makes me wish it was warm here in December. A perfect destination location for a vacation.

An old building with completely modern insides. The building had been vacant for 20 years. The hotel reopened last year after undergoing a 5 year renovation. They did an amazing job. The rooms are nice sized with plush beds and wifi. A pool, a grand ball room and huge veranda for breakfast and the beach is right across the street.

The beaches filled with people. Sandy areas, grass areas, many restaurants and bridges/piers that divide the water areas where people toss their towels down and create a their own beach. I love watching how the culture here on the beach is very different than the culture on the beach in the US.
