Strunjan

StrunjanMid April Rob paid a visit to Ljubljana. The weather already felt like summer when he arrived so in the early morning Rob and me decided to head for the beach for an easy day of relaxing on the coast. The more the merrier: Eefje had a wake up call and Ingrid was still having breakfast! But both off them said 'We're in!'
Another roadtrip was planned for the day.
Rob quickly got a new swimming pants and off we went.
The group (Ingrid, Eefje, Floor & Rob)
As we always go to the same places on the Slovene coast we decided to head for Strunjan.
It turned out to be a pretty good spot on the otherwise so crowded Slovene coast.
Less touristy and enough places to put your towel down...though a bigger part of the beach is covered with small stones, so something thicker then a towel would work better next time.
The day was closed off with a dinner in Piran.

Erasmus reunion

Floor and Joao

Last Sunday and Monday a very interesting person paid a visit to Ljubljana.
Joao (see moustache mafia film) came back for a week to Ljubljana. I got to know Joao (Portugal) during my Erasmus period and he brought back a lot of good memories, it was sad to see him leave.
I guess those who ever did Erasmus or something similar know what I am talking about...
Its a period in which you share intense moments with people. Everyone is different...in background, culture, and values....during such a time; you are all the same, as you share the same situations and time together.
That's what comes with an international expat life...people come and go

Eefje also had a visit. 4 dutch friends of her came to Ljubljana.
Thomas surprised us as well with a visit to Parlement so we ended up with quite the Dutch crowd which doesn't happen so often.
