In September 2009, during a work trip to Italy, a friend invited me to a drive across the border into Slovenia. For dinner, he took me to a tourist farm in the hills above the little village of Breg pri Golem Brdu, and this was one of the views from one of the windows. Slovenia was the 50th country I have had the privilege and pleasure to visit.

From what I’ve been able to tell at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breg_pri_Golem_Brdu
the name says that this is the Breg near Golo Brdo, as opposed to some other Breg.
Yes, I looked up the name, and confirmed this information from the tourist farm’s website.
You must have a very fat passport (or two) with 50 countries.
I sure do, and I preserve the old, expired ones for posterity in a special place.
What a splendid view; lovely!
I keep trying to envision the view from that villa that you can see through the tree branches at upper right. Oh, to spend a week there!
Gorgeous view! Wow, 50 countries!!
Yes, it’s been quite a journey, and I’ll try to bring you a few more choice tidbits from the travel archives. I consider myself very fortunate to have had these opportunities.
What’s a tourist farm? Do people go there to watch people work? Or do they go there to work, themselves? Or, is it simply a rural bed-and-breakfast sort of place. Whichever, it certainly is beautiful.
I was only there for a late lunch, but I had the impression that it’s mostly a sort of elegant, rural chalet with rooms and a very nice kitchen. I’d like to go back some day and check it out more thoroughly.
I’ve heard Slovenia is beautiful. This is certainly a lovely scene. Fifty countries? I’ve not even been out of my own country yet and I am approaching a 1/2 century in age… ;-)
Well, get going, girl! If you ask me, I’d say start with New Zealand!
Yep, on top of my list! :-)
