Island in the middle of a Lake: Bled
... we went to Bled which was amazing. From the castle you could see the entire island and the lake surrounding it. Then from the ground the castle looked so beautiful. It was such a unique and beautiful place. We walked through the castle that is now a museum and see someone use a printing press. It was cool.
I'm so glad that our study tour went here! We did a lot of outdoorsy things and it was really cool how ...
Summer Toboggan
Sadly our last day in Slovenia so we decided on a bit of 'adrenalin' for our last morning. After packing up we headed to the slopes and because it was a Saturday, the ski lifts were open!

After a long days hiking we did stumble out into civilisation again, very satisfied with our days exploring in the beautiful wilderness! Drove back to Bled, had some grub and caught some zzzz's.
