Maribor

As I walked the block or two into Maribor from the station I felt a rush of Endorphine, the happy-hormone. How nice to be back. Back among the folk who lead unhurried lives, sitting in outdoor cafes having a coffee, beer or glass of water or wandering the streeets eating enormous icecreams.

Perhaps it is holiday time here at the moment and life gets more serious in winter, but from a tourist's viewpoint Maribor feels idyllic, one of the worlds nicest places to live.
