After completing the ropes course and having lunch, the Irish posed with Marjan, who cooked the team a fabulous meal.
The two ropes course guides - Urosh (who is a professional snowboarder) and Irena - pose with the Irish after they successfully completed all of the obstacles.

The players from the Irish and the Slovenian National team also had a chance to interact off the court. Shown here are Petra, Spacal, and Ana, as well as Cory Solomon, a Bring It Promotions tour guide.
The Irish coaches - (from left) Louella Lovely, Debbie Brown, and Robin Davis - ascended to the belltower of St. John the Baptist Church to see a breathtaking view of Maribor's city center.
This is the view of Maribor they were treated to.
