Beautiful Fall Colors at Slovenia's lakes

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
... of money I'm not so sure about it, though Billy - I'm willing to wait around for you! Lots of duckies swim around Lake Bled, something to do with tourists and hotels throwing them scraps is my guess and so when I pulled out a donut those duckies went ...
Gorgeous Vintgar Gorge
A popular thing to do when in Bled is to take a walk to the Vintgar gorge, which is about 3km north of the town. Friday turned out to be a little cloudy, so it was perfect weather for the walk. The walk up was fab, really peaceful and it took ...
Now That's A Big Fish..

Bled, Slovenia

From busy Italy to peaceful Slovenia
... using the tourist map. Italy was short 'n' fast but worth it to see friends, eat tasty food and enjoy some fantastic cities. Slovenia on the other hand is so far much more peaceful and has been a welcome break. The last week have been spent ...
Vintgar Gorge-ous...

Slovenia - Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj
The train journey from Munich to Slovenia vindicated our decision to travel the world only by land. Gazing out of the window, 5 hours flew by as the train snaked alongside the Julian Alps before climbing high into the mountains and dropping us at the ...
Lake Bled
Off to Bled, and Lake Bled, which is in the north west of Slovenia and in the Julian Alps, which are actually named after Julius Ceasar. I hopped on the bus for the one and a half hour journey which took us through some great Slovenian scenery, ...

Run out of town, literally, by 16 men in skirts!!
... option anyway, it is supposed to be beautiful, but I didn't think I'd be forced out of town by over 4,000 Scotts while in Slovenia! Anyway, they were actually really cool guys. It was amusing on their part as well. Some of them came home so late, and ...
Julian Alp's
... Anyway, nice simple night. Woke up this morning and started to hike around the area. I hiked up to the Bled Castle, the oldest castle in Slovenia, walked around, enjoyed some coffee at the top before hiking back down to walk around the lake. I'm so ...
The Julian Alps: Bled and Bohinj
... cream cakes we had for dessert are the real reason anyone goes to Bled! Unbelievable and you can only get them in Bled -- nowhere else in Slovenia. We thought of kidnapping a baker and bringing him back home with us... After Bled we drove on to Bohinj, ...
Back to Slovenia

national parks and watery escapades
... was freezing, we could only paddle for a second, I don't know how Scruff could swim in it. Over the border into Slovenia, they checked all our passports, paying special attention to scruff's. Had to drive miles to the nearest campsite then found a legal ...
A bit of peace and quiet
... a fair compromise. The hostel is already a few steps up towards the castle, so that seems to be the logical first order of business. Bled's claim to fame is a beautiful lake set at the foot of the Julian Alps. There is a small island in the lake that ...
