Slovenia, Easter 2011
 Piran!, where we spent the final two nights |
 Piran church – this visit, we finally climbed the tower |
 Figs! we also saw limes, lemons, olives growing |
 Looking towards Italy whilst hiking near Piran |
 A very old olive tree at the end of a hike which involved much more vertical climbing than anticipated |
 This entrance to a graveyard caught our eye |
 Wisteria! the azaleas, roses and tulip magnolias were also out |
 Piran. We can't get enough of this town. |
 The eclectic mix of architecture, the narrow streets, and the smell and sound of the sea… |
 Piran's main square (Tartini trg) as seen from the top of the church bell tower |
 This was a good idea until 1 PM, when the bells started ringing approximately a meter away from us |
 We seem to have survived the experience |
 Speaking of not meeting North American safety standards – here's the climb up the bell tower |
 This is Piran from the end of one of the piers, which we had not walked to before |
 Late afternoon light in Piran |
