We seem to be zig zagging from one country to the next but my navigator insists we are having to circle back to get everything in. Today we traveled from Pecs to Moravske-Toplice, Slovenia. There apparently is lots to see in this region from old traditional Slovenian villages to thermal spas. Moravske-Toplice is in fact a thermal town with some 5 star resorts taking up most of this tiny little village. The place is hopping, parking lots are full and this spa thing seems to be a very popular activity in these parts. Our accommodations are great once again, staying in a family pension that was built by the father who is a master carpenter. Having a construction background, I was thoroughly impressed by the woodwork. From hand carved railings to the custom made furniture in the rooms, the place is truly impressive. The solid granite stairs extend the full three stories of the building and the cost of installing a similar installation in North America would cost you a small fortune.
Not to break with tradition, Gregor, the eldest son of the owner greeted us at the door, helped us upstairs with our luggage and immediately invited us to the dining room to enjoy a glass or two of the tradition Slovenian moonshine. Once again, I did not let him down. I will have an iron stomach by the time we get home. We are certainly glad to be back in Slovenia and are looking forward to our short stint in this region.
