Thursday Doors, April 20 2017

For today’s Thursday Doors we go back to the town of my birth, Ljubljana, Slovenia.

It was a cold winter’s day when I took part in the free Ljubljana Graffiti Tour. I told Sandi, the organiser, that I’d got dressed as if I was going skiing and he concurred. At first it was just the two of us but later we were joined by an Italian family and a Chinese girl.

As it was, I often lagged behind and had to catch up with them since this was not a Thursday Doors Tour (MAJOR BUSINESS IDEA!), and while graffiti was surely intriguing, my wandering eye spotted many interesting doors too. And you can never let those drift by.

More graffiti doors will appear in the second part on a Thursday to come, but today the first part of the walk through Old Ljubljana streets. We started at Stari trg, crossed the Ljubljanica river at the Cobbler’s Bridge, continued along Hribarjevo nabrežje, and reached the funky Trubarjeva Street where the second part will begin.

If you click on a photo, you’ll see it better.

The meeting point of the Tour: Ljubljana Academy of Music. They are okay with the art piece above, even though the notes originate from a lit scroll. Very blunt!

The plague above the door reads: “University Professors’ Society”. Nah.

Now Thursday-Doors-famous submarine door in Ljubljana.

Kajmak is a fresh cheese typical of all other ex-Yugoslav republics except Slovenia.

Two worlds bypass.

Fresh pastries, smoothie, coffee, homemade yogurt and pancakes. Haven’t been yet. The name could be interpreted as A Fresh One.
