Bit of Nature Up Me...
... bit sick though so they all went to the doctor, thank you reciprocal Medicare agreement, it cost about $1 to go to the doctor in Slovenia and about $3 for a full round of antibiotics... Loose as. The first day we didn't do a great deal. We went for a walk ...
Following the footsteps of Caesar and Hemingway

Sunny Slovenia - yay!
... the only people up there. We couldn't believe such a stunning place could go unnoticed by so many and were thankful we'd made the effort to get off the beaten track a little. Unfotunately that afternoon we had to leave Bled to get back to Ljubljana ...

Zagreb to Ljubljana
... ." I walked around Zagreb for a couple of hours, taking pictures of buildings and missing the coast. I’m heading to Lake Bled in Slovenia and looking forward to being back in nature. I don’t really care all that much about old buildings and ...
Hiking in Slovenia
... about the prank they’d pulled on me the previous night, and then it also came out that the radioactive fish in Bled were also bullshit (shoulda known). I’d really have to watch myself around those two! We hiked through the forest up the ...
Skojan Caves

From Bled to Bovec

Relaxing in Bled

Day 3: Bled
Sunday morning we left for Lake Bled in Slovenia. It takes about 4.5 hours from Salzburg. This train ride is an experience in itself, and would be worth doing just on its own. Austria is an incredible country and cannot wait to return to explore it in ...
