Koper, Slovenia our last port of call, on Sunday, April
29. This will be the last day of these
107 days on the 2012 World Cruise. A
wonderful adventure and it will be hard to say good bye to many friends. We have been told there will be 13 passengers
continuing on to the Holy Land segment.
Now Koper is a very small city with a little over 23,000 in
habitants and very much in the European style.
It, too, along with Croatia was a significant part of Yugoslavia prior
to the war. The old core of Koper
retains the look of the 15th and 16th centuries. There is an old bell that dates from 1333,
one of the oldest in the country. Across
the square are the Praetorian Palace and a Venetian style Loggia.
One of the popular tours was to see the Lipica Stud Farm
founded in 1580 and has bred famed Lipizzaner horses for over four
centuries. Most people know or have seen
these horses perform in Vienna, Austria.
Tonight we will depart at 7PM for a quick trip across the
Adriatic Sea to Venice, Italy.
