Maribor is the second largest city in Slovenia and we decided to stop there because we hadn’t felt the need to rush. So far the time traveling was not very much and we’d had a picnic outside of Graz. Our evening in Maribor began at our first hotel – the Garni Hotel Tabor. I was amazed how effortlessly we found it, with a small printed map and Brano and I looking frantically for miniscule street signs.
After we checked in we went post-haste to town in order to check things out and find a bite to eat. We traversed a lovely city center in no time and traversed it yet again. I had my heart set of having squid for dinner, so after some funny entrances and exits at various restaurants we found ourselves at a place with a menu outside that clearly stated “ligne na zaru”, so we went it. Oops. It wasn’t bad. It was funny. There first question, spelled out with gestures and a mixture of Slovak and English was regarding whether or not we had student status with “bonn”. It turns out we had entered a student “buffet”. Too tired to split, we sat and tried to order, the waitress came back several times to tell us that they didn’t have what we wanted. Finally, she essentially ordered for us and brought us what they had.
It was delicious.
We traversed the city for a drink and headed back to the hotel. A beautiful city with chic bars and a plethora of (probably) tasty restaurants ☺.
