Koper, Slovenia

We were at sea all day yesterday. Eating.

We hit Slovenia today and I was totally impressed with this new country. We docked in Koper and sped off into the countryside. It is covered with vineyards, olive trees and beautiful homes and farms. This country at the northern edge of the Adriatic is now part of the European union. After the break up of Yugoslavia and a ten day war they started rebuilding their country. They are doing a great job.

We stopped for a wine tasting at Koper Vineyards. The wine was excellent and I will look for it when I get home. If you want to buy their wine in bulk you go into a special room that is equipped with sterile gas pumps. My calculations were that it is priced at the same amount as gasoline here. About $2.60 a liter, and it is really good wine.
