Moving Day

One of the issues with moving to Ljubljana with three kids is that there aren’t many apartments designed for five people here.  And in the summer, those that are get rented quickly.  So, we had to split our stay in two apartments and today is the day we move.

We’re moving to the same apartment where we stayed last year, a beautiful apartment right below the castle in old town.  Living in the old part of town is wonderful, but the only way to get there is on foot (there is one taxi that has access to the pedestrian zone, but the driver is on holiday right now).  So, moving for us means several trips of hauling all of our luggage down the 103 steps of this apartment, towing it a half-mile to our next apartment, and then hauling it up the 70 steps or so there.  And, it means the general chaos involved with endless reminders to make sure no babies, bears, or other important toys are left behind.

We are looking forward to back in our old apartment, but there are certainly things we’ll miss about this one.  One of the biggest will be our terrace, which really makes this apartment great.  It has enough room for the kiddos to get out their scooters and roam around a bit, it’s a great place to have breakfast in the morning, and it offers fantastic sunset views over Tivoli Park and the mountains to the north.
