Day 1 - Slovenian Municipalities (24/24/212) 1

Moravske Toplice

The night before I arrived in Moravske Toplice, where I took a room at the Imperium 3* hotel for 2 nights, €94 including tax. The room was average but had no air conditioning, only a fan, which was quite a problem. I got up at 6am, had breakfast there. At 6:33 I started visiting the first municipality. The morning walk around the spa town was nothing special. That day I visited 24 municipalities.

I was in this municipality few years ago in the village of Bogojina, where I saw Plečnik’s church and the rotunda in the village Selo.
