From sunshine to snow
... we opted for a day trip to the tourist town of Bled and further on to Bohinj instead of a trip south to some of Slovenia's reputedly magnificent caves. It was a public holiday in Slovenia, and Irena was quite happy to drive us the short distance to ...
We can be students if you want us to be.....
Zagreb, Ljubljana, Lake Bled, Bohinjsko Jezero, Koper, Piran 04/09/04 - 09/09/04 Before getting into Slovenia there was a quick stop off in Croatia's capital of Zagreb. Another incredibly slow train ride which took about 7 hours. We could have run ...
Postcard Perfect
... town actually gives you this feeling. What adam forgot to mention about the island is that it is the most popular spot in slovenia to get married. The groom carries the bride up the 98 stone steps to the church from the dock to prove he is ...
Peaceful surroundings
... asleep at once. The other girls couldn't sleep on buses- they were on bus stop lookout. After an hour we arrived at Lake Bled. It is beautiful, a smallish lake, island in the middle with a church on it and a castle up high overlooking the lake. We were ...
Adventurous in Bled!
Bled was our final stop in Slovenia, still with Jo & Dan, as we will be until at least the Oktoberfest - nice to travel together as we're all heading in the same direction & we're having a good laugh together! Also, Jenny & Paul are heading to ...
Ballistic Balkans
... Natalie we left Istanbul and headed west stopping by in Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia. Not always comfortable but always fascinating we encountered some truly beautiful and memorable spots that hopefully ...
Bled in Heart
... or so, but that was OK, as it allowed us to cut across on some nice rural roads. The final entry from Austria into Slovenia was interesting…. up over a high pass with a very narrow single switchback road up and over, and in the rain, then through a ...
Bled - Slovenia
... fantastic - we took the old girl (the van) through some unreal hairpin bends up to the snowline of the Julian Alps, and onto Bled, this lovely town with a castle perched on a sheer rock face and a church on an island in the middle of a lake. ...
Day Hiking around Lake Bled
... on the OTHER side of the mountain. Not a fun walk back around. It's very possible we crossed into Austria in this adventure. At least we got to see a couple small towns in Northern Slovenia. Otherwise, it was a beautiful lake full of swans and big ...
Hiking in Drazgoce
... in the background. I was amazed at the number of people old and young, who hike miles to see the event. There were also many tour buses that cautiously navigated the narrow winding roads. The president of Slovenia was also present. ...
The longest day
... to do before thinking about grabbing a bite to eat and getting out of there, back towards Venice. We really wish we'd researched Slovenia a bit earlier, it was cheap as hell (compared to the rest of Europe we'd visited thus far) Very friendly (Hopefully ...
Bled Time
... lake that has a castle brooding on a hill on the Northern fringe and a church on a lone island - allegedly the only island in Slovenia that stands immaculately in white, resplendent in the sun. The place is so calm and tranqil that we spent 3 days here ...
Finally Here for Christmas!!!
22 DECEMBER 2010 - We leave Ljubljana and travel to Bled on a bus. We travelled through some beautiful towns covered in snow. We arrive in Bled at 11.15am and got off at Bled Union. Walking through the snow and the slush everywhere wasn't easy ...
Great food, deadly treadlies and a beautiful gorge
... We landed in Zagreb which is the capital of Croatia (I think – pretty sure anyway!) and we then had to catch a train to Bled, Slovenia. While Witek collected the bags I spent my time finding out how we could get to the train station. There was a bus ...
Fairytale castles
... I get the chance. Or find a computer with a USB port - they seem to be an endangered species in Slovenia. Hiked back to Bled via a forest loop with the now-familiar steep, rocky, rooty trails. Surprisingly well signposted, except for one crossroads ...
Bled
... the church on an island in the middle of Lake Bled. We had a tour around the town and then onto Bled Castle. Great views over Bled and the lake from the castle which is on a hilltop. It was raining which was a shame as the photos don't do the ...
Bled
... 8 degrees centrigrade inside the caves. Photos do not do justice to the caves. We had already crossed the border into Slovenia where we had to get off the bus and walk into passport control with our passports. Finally arrived in Bled by ...
We stayed longer in Bled
... wanted to get off but as soon as I put the air vent on me I felt ok. We say goodbye to Slovenia, another beautiful country. Its small, its pretty and people are friendly. We thank Slovenia for our first white christmas. ...
Housemates Snow Trip to Slovenia
... get to see the pics for quite some time as I don't have time to update the whole story. It was a semi-housemate outing to Slovenia where we went snowboarding for 3 days and then went to Lake Bled on the last day to look at some pretty castles and happy ...
Yes Bled, What you saying
... beautiful for words, but that would make a very small blog entry and wouldnt be interesting so ill give it a go. We rock up into bled train station on a lazy afternoon and proceed to the nearest bus stop when a couple of Gs tell us we are at the wrong ...
Nature, and Jumping off a Cliff.
... trip! I wasn't sure if I should do it or not when I was planning everything, but I'm really glad I did. I had a lot of fun, Slovenia was beautiful (more so than what I thought it would be), the people were really nice, and I proved to myself I could do ...
The Lake
Another place, another favourite. We spent four days next to Lake Bled, in Slovenia, and it is firmly at the top of all of our lists of favourite non-city destinations. Or it would be if we actually had such lists. An absolutely beautiful ...
Drizzling in Bled
... numerous Olympic gold medallists. We walked around the whole lake with spits of rain. Our efforts earned us a slice of the famous kremsnita, Bled Cream Cake. It started to rain so we didn't fancy the hike up to Bled castle so headed back to Ljubjana to ...
Bled in the sun.....oh glorious sunshine....
... office, eventually finding it tucked away down an alley. While the selection wasn’t great, we found some maps of Bled and Slovenia for our collection. Getting out of the tourist office we stumbled upon the tea courtyard of the Park Hotel, ...
Bled in the rain
... in the rain, or not at all. Donned our wet weather gear and headed over into Bled. Bled is a little area around a lake (Lake Bled), which has a lovely little tear shaped island in the middle, with a church, and a quite famous set of steps which lead up ...
Dolomites to Austria to Slovenia
... a great job getting us up and over the huge pass, chugging along in 1st gear at 20kph, and we crossed the border into Slovenia! 3 countries in one day - not sure that we’ll beat that record! The fields in Slovenia were lovely and green with tall ...
Bled: Part I
... and trading funny travel stories. Theirs mostly involved the trials and tribulations of driving a rental car through Slovenia, where the road signs are apparently pretty scarce and sometimes downright wrong...not to mention in Slovenian. ...
