    Predjama Castle & Postojna Caves, Slovenia. Best day trip from Ljubljana, Slovenia

    Predjama Castle & Postojna Caves, Slovenia. Best day trip from Ljubljana, Slovenia

    [Ep 105] This is exciting – we are taking you on the most spectacular daytrip from Ljubljana.  We are going to guide you around a five storey castle, built in an enormous cave over 800 years ago.  You won’t believe some of the things we saw and the history we share about Predjama Castle. As if that isn’t awesome enough – we then are going to take you with us to the most well known caves in the world. Postojna Caves. Now these caves have been operating as a tourist destination for over 200 years.  Can you imagine being 5km in the side of a mountain, 240 meters underground with no electricity? Well thankfully they now have electricity and a train system that takes you deep inside. You can then walk around the absolutely spectacular caves system.  You will see all sorts of formations, from 1000’s of tiny spaghetti like stalactites on the roof, to giant columns of pure white that just glow, plus a whole lot more.  If you would like to see all the pictures of these two amazing places that we visited – and to be honest you really have to see them – then click on the link here

    [Ep 103] This is third and final podcast all about Budapest, and we may have saved the best till last. In this episode we share three completely different experiences, but they are all incredible. Let’s start at the most famous thermal baths in Budapest. Come inside the stunning yellow building that surrounds 18 different thermal pools, baths saunas and steam rooms. We tell you everything you need to know about enjoying your time here. Next, we discover a real hidden gem, Margaret Island, right smack bang in the middle of the Danube. This is a local’s paradise filled with parklands, gardens, thermal baths, swimming pools, a zoo, musical water fountain, Japanese gardens, jogging track, restaurants, bars plus heaps more – you will want to hear all about it – we were blown away. Lastly, and probably our favourite day in Budapest was an amazing wine tour we did to a small wine region. We visited three different cellar doors, and they were so unique, one was an underground wine cellar that was 100’s of years old.  We cover lots of ground in this one – so buckle up and enjoy episode 103 all about Budapest.  If you would like to see the pictures, or find out more about the tours and tickets we bought then click the link to episode 103 here: www.beachtravelwine.com/podcast/103/budapest

    Ep 100. Today’s podcast is a little different.  We are taking a few minutes to reflect on achieving 100 episodes and why this is such a big deal.  We share some crazy stats and fun stories, but then we bring it back to you our loyal listeners and tell you what we have coming up in our next series of episodes as we are about to explore 5 countries in Europe so we can bring you lots of great, fun, informative podcast episodes. I also tell you about a free guide I have done at the request of many people about the 6 things I do to take great travel photos on my phone – one of them is so simple – but you would be surprised how many people make this mistake all the time.  The guide will be in the episode description of this episode on the player, you are listening on now, so just click the link to episode 100 to download it. And thank you so much for listening to our podcast over the last 100 episodes – we are really grateful, and we would really appreciate it even more if you took the time to help celebrate our 100th episode by giving us a nice review or 5 stars on the podcast player you listen on. Hope you enjoy Episode 100 and please have a glass of wine and say cheers to us Lyle and Leanne at the Beach Travel Wine Podcast.

Al & Kaz ,

Super helpful & entertaining

We listened to every one of Lyall & Leanne’s podcast on Spain (multiple times), prior to our 3 weeks there. Not only were they really helpful, full of lots of stuff you need to know, but they were entertaining! Really easy to listen too also. We even referred to them whilst we were away! Great job guys. So if you are heading anywhere they have been, listen to their podcast on it! Happy travels & thanks again
