Wednesday, 1st August 2012

At 5.45am we left Portoroz to take a 3 hour bus tour to Maribor. As most of us didn't get much sleep we continued to sleep in the bus. At 9am we arrived at Maribor and at 9.30am the presentation about the European Capital of Culture ECOC and their volunteering work started. We also had a short presentation of 3 of their volunteer who shared their experiences with us.


After that we had a little sightseeing tour through the city. As the city isn't that big, it didn't take us that long ;) We also have noticed that the buildings in Maribor look very similar to the Austrians, so we felt like beeing home again! At 1pm we had a delicious 3 course menu at a traditional Slovenian restaurant where they also served green beer!!



From 2 to 6pm we had to do a survey about MARIBOR 2012 with tourists and also locals. After finishing it we had a nice walk through the city and enjoyed an ice coffee at the river.


At 6pm we started our journey back to Portoroz which actually took us 4 hours in total. In between we enjoyed a great donut.

Thank you very much for this trip which we really enjoyed even it was a long day.

See you tomorrow,

Jasmin & Stefanie
