Beautiful Bled, in Slovenia
So, another place that we visited was a small city in Slovenia called Bled. It is perhaps the most touristy place in all of Slovenia. Why you ask? Well, Bled is situated in the Julian Alps and has a wonderfully beautiful lake situated in the middle of the town. And in this lake, as you shall see is situated an island with a magnificent church in the middle of it. With mountains all around this lake, and also with a castle perched atop the cliff overhanging the lake, it makes this city a quite amusing city. If you would like to relate it to anything, we could call it the Lake Tahoe of Slovenia. The water was very clear and intoxicatingly fresh. This first picture was not taken by I or anyone else on the trip. It's just a good pic and I couldn't find a better pic that I shot. My pics are following. Here you can see this island and the church if you squint hard. It's straight ahead. Trust me, it was cool, however uncool this view looks. I couldsee it better.
So we tried to get here early enough to get on paddle boats, but we got here too late so you will have to enjoy the view of the wooden boats with the great island in the background.
Ah... what an island...
And here is a pic of the castle that overhangs the great lake. The island is approximately to the left of the castle, yet unseeable in this picture. Don't worry, it's still there though, trust me.
