One incredible day at Lake Bled

What. A. Day. Today might just be my favourite day of the entire trip so far - and honestly, one of my favourite days ever (… possibly second only to Grand Final Day 2023 #GoPies). 🤪😂 I even took 136 photos, which probably tells you everything you need to know about how good it was. 🫣😳

The adventure began bright and early with a hotel pickup for my day trip to Lake Bled. Our first stop was Bled Castle, where we arrived around 9 a.m. We had an hour to explore, and the highlight was without question the view - Lake Bled drifting in and out of the morning fog, looking almost unreal. 🤩

From there, we headed down to the lakeside. I spent a while walking along the water before hopping on the boat to Bled Island. Boats leave every hour on the hour, so I had a full hour to have a proper look around - and I made the most of it. I circled the island on the walking track, visited the church, climbed the clocktower, and wandered through the small museum. It was peaceful, charming, and absolutely beautiful.

Back on the mainland, I grabbed a very satisfying baked potato for lunch and took a short stroll before it was time to return to Ljubljana.

Once back in the city, I drifted through the streets without much of a plan - just exploring, people-watching, and soaking in the evening atmosphere. I made my way to the Metelkova district in the east of Ljubljana, taking in the vibrant street art and the area’s unique, lively energy. Later, a craving for a burrito hit hard, so I found one (which was a great decision), and then roamed the city at night, which felt calm and lovely after the big day out. 😄

There’s a little surprise planned for tomorrow… so stay tuned! 👀Read more
