Another chapter for the Croatia trip.

One of the day trips we booked took us across the border into Slovenia to Postonja Caves.  For all you budding geologists this place is a must.  A little train takes you on a 10 minute blast underground through jaw dropping caverns, some of which are bigger than a couple of cathedrals.  You then hop off the train and walk to your preferred  language meeting point for a 45 minute tour on foot through the caverns. 

This tour is not for the faint hearted as it goes up and down some pretty steep, wet concrete pavements, and small bridges take you across great chasms as you walk through the stunning caverns.  It is all beautifully lit to get the most out of the calcite creations,  and they remind you of this by unexpectedly switching out the lights for a moment so you can experience the absolute darkness.  At the end of the tour the little train blasts you back up to the surface where we enjoyed a slap up 3 course lunch in a snazzy little restaurant, before boarding our luxury bus for the trip on to Lipica to see the horses.
