ain, had to find a map and walk with our backpacks…slightly more painful this time as there were hills!. I swear I was going to collapse just as Liz spotted the hostel! Dropped our stuff and went for a look. Bled has a famous lake and it is absolutely beautiful. It’s huge and bl
ue and clear. You could even see the fish if the water was shallow. It was quite hot, so we decided to go back to the hostel to check in and grab our togs so we could go swimming in the lake! Diving in the water was a bit cold but it was so
gorgeous to swim in. Just being able to look around you and see the castle, mountains…oh it was wonderful! Over the next 3 days, we went swimming in the Lake every day even when the sun was hiding.We hired a little wooden boat and rowed to the little Island in the middle of the Lake which has a church on it. We decided not to explore as we have seen so many churches, plus w
e only had the boat for an hour and we wanted to keep rowing. I was not very good at it but Liz was great. Some action shots will accompany this blog!! We walked all
around the Lake also, which is 4km, we did it in a very leisurely stroll so as not to exert ourselves. We also tried their famous Cream Cake. This is pretty much a better version of vanilla slice, but with a thick layer of cream on the top…mmmm I also tested out their 2 Slovenian brews here, both coming in 500ml bottles which I found amusing. One called Union was so so but I really liked the other which I think was called Lasko.

When we reached the area we could already hear the water rushing and w
hen we saw the first river we were amazed. The water was crystal clear. So lovely. The Gorge walk took abou
t an hour to the end and back. And as we had gotten up a bit early to do it, we didn’t come across anyone else which made us feel like we were in our world. In some parts the water was this beautiful green colour. If it wasn’t so cold in the Gorge you would have jumped in!
We really enjoyed Slovenia, everything was so cheap, the people were really friendly and the views at Bled were just beautiful. Definitely a place I would recommend to everyone!!
