Farm in Dorenji Logatec, Logatec

Photo 1 : home made gnocchi with tomato sauce (photo:portion for two).

Photo 2: green salad with cucumber, cabbage, tomatoes and green beans served with half a hard boiled egg.
For desert, fruits and appfle strudel (photo:portions for one).

Garbage can with dispenser of plastic bags

Logatec is a very clean city. You will not find any paper or plastic bottle or can in the streets. There are many street garbage cans and they have even a dispenser of plastic bags for dogs! I mean a dispenser of plastic bags for dog owners!

Some of you know that I collect School warnings road signs. I have already drop some of them along my travel pages but will also present them altogether! Soon!

These are the two I have seen in Slovenia (oops, I have taken them in Logatec but, I should put this tip in a Slovenia page). Road sign number one is the regular road sign warning for a school. Photo number two says “Šolska pot” I have been unable to find the translation but I have understood that it did not warn for a nearby school but for a bus stop where children are picked up and brought to school.
