R&L's Adventure: Lake Bled, Slovenia

We arrived in Ljubljana, Slovenia as the sun was setting and a little tired after a day spent in airports. We made our way to our lodgings via a shuttle courtesy of our host. We dropped off our bags and made our way to the lively riverside area. Just as we sat down for dinner we were startled by fireworks. It seems we arrived just in time for the Slovenian Independence celebration. We had no idea this was supposed to happen. How cool is that? After a late night enjoying the celebrations, we got a late start to our day. We decided to take the bus to see Lake Bled. The misty overcast lent a very magical & ethereal feeling to the lake. It was so beautiful and peaceful to stroll around the shore gazing at the church rising from the island in the middle of the lake surrounded by the mountains of the Julian Alps. Bled castle rising from the sheer cliffs around the lake stood watch over the scene. Majestic swans floated leisurely by. We much enjoyed the relaxed day. Tomorrow? We'll explore more of Ljubljana then off to Sarajevo!Read more
