Pod vodo Under water

Slike narasle Save pri Tacnu sem posnela včeraj, ko je bila gladina reke že približno pol metra nižja kot prejšnji dan.

Upam, da se bo stanje čimprej umirilo in ljudem prineslo mir.

There was a lot of rain over the past weekend causing one of the biggest floods in our history.

Almost all of Slovenia is under the water, even the capital Ljubljana. More than two-thirds of the country is affected: flooded, destroyed or threatened by landslides or cut off. Unfortunately two people dead, one missing.

I took these pictures of Sava River at Tacen rapids yesterday. By the time the water level was already half a meter lower then it was the day before.

Dunaj Bratislava Budimpešta Vienna Bratislava Budapest

Kot sem omenila včeraj, sva si po obisku razstave Fride Kahlo na hitro ogledala še tri mesta, ki imajo veliko skupnega: vsa tri so prestolnice srednjeevropskih držav, skoznje teče Donava in imajo skupno zgodovino iz časa Avstro-Ogrske (Habsburške) monarhije.

Odločila sva se, da bova, tako kot se spodobi, v vsaki od držav jedla njihovo domačo hrano.

As I mentioned yesterday, Miro and I did a quick sightseeing of three cities after visiting the Frida Kahlo exhibition.

They have a lot in common: all of them are capitals of Central-European countries, the river Danube runs through them and the Austro-Hungarian (Habsburg) Monarchy was a big part of their history.

We decided to eat local traditional food in each of the country. It was nothing exotic for us, because except of Slovakian dish everything is very familiar to us, since the other two are commonly in use and very spread also in our country. We like both of them and now we like also the new one. :)

DUNAJ / VIENNA
(Avstrija / Austria):

(dunajski zrezek / vienna steak):

Prespala sva v Podersdorfu ob Nežiderskem jezeru v Avstriji...
We stopped for the night at Podersdorf by Neusiedl Lake in Austria...

... kjer sva kupila tudi njihovo hišno vino;
... where we bought the house wine:

BRATISLAVA
(Slovaška / Slovakia):

potato dumplings with bryndza sheep cheese and bacon):

BUDIMPEŠTA / BUDAPEST
(Madžarska / Hungary):

gulyásleves
(golaževa juha / goulash soup):

Prijetno utrujena in polna vtisov sva se vrnila v še eno od simpatičnih mest, domov, v Ljubljano, ki bi prav tako lahko bila na zgornjem spisku, z izjemo dejstva, da jo je Donava »zgrešila«. :)

Pleasantly tired and full of impressions we returned to another lovely city, our home Ljubljana, that could also be on the list above, except the fact that Danube River “missed” it. :)

Frida Kahlo

V sredo sva si na Dunaju ogledala
razstavo Fride Kahlo.

Kako lepo je bilo njene slike videti v živo!

On Wednesday Miro and I visited
the Frida Kahlo exhibition in Vienna.

It was so special to see her original paintings!

Ogledala sva si tudi mesto,
izlet pa razvlekla na dva dni,
tako da sva obiskala še Bratislavo in Budimpešto,
skupaj torej tri čudovita srednjeevropska mesta.
Vendar več o tem drugič.

Then we took a look at the city a bit
and decided to extend our little trip to two days
to drive also to Bratislava and Budapest,
altogether that is three magnificant central-European cities.
But more about that another time.

Z vlakom na kavico For a coffee by train

Dedek nas je danes povabil na kavico.
Vendar takó, da gremo vsi skupaj
z vlakom na Jesenice.

Všeč mi je, da iz vsake malenkosti
vedno naredi dobro zabavo in hec :)

Grandfather invited us today for a coffee.
But to go all together with a train to Jesenice,
which is in the north-west corner of Slovenia.

I like how he always makes good time
and fun from every tiny little thing :)

Spomin na poletje,
kljub temu, da še vedno je poletje! :)

Memory of summer,
eventhogh it still is summer! :)

Uspeh mehurčkov Bubble success

V tednu dni, odkar so moji
Srečni mehurčki v trgovinici,
so se pojavili v kar 6-ih Etsyjevih zakladnicah!

Vse so navdahnjene predvsem z jesenjo
in so mi zelo všeč,
zadnja pa celo pojasni,
zakaj so moji mehurčki tako srečni. :)

Within a week since my Happy bubbles
appeared in my little shop,
they were featured in 6 Etsy treasuries!

All collections are inspired mostly by autumn
and I like them very much,
but the last one even explains
why my bubbles are so happy. :)

Sava

Današnji čudovit poznopoletni dan sva izkoristila za sprehod do Save.

Z Zojo smo krenili ob toku navzgor, do visečega mostu, zgrajenega leta 1934;

On this wonderful late summer day we went for a walk to the Sava River.
(Sava starts here in Slovenia and it’s our longest river.)

We went upstream to the hanging bridge, built in 1934:

Na drugi strani smo se v okrepčevalnici, ki nosi ime po reki, osvežili s pijačo;

On the other side of the river we turned into cafe named after this river:

Nazaj smo krenili po drugem rečnem bregu in našo velikanko znova prečkali pri brzicah v Tacnu,
kjer se ravno te dni odvija svetovno prvenstvo v kajaku in kanuju na divjih vodah – Sloka 2010;

We crossed the river once again at Tacen rapids, where the World kayak and canoe championships
on wild waters – Sloka 2010 is going on these days:
