Slovenia, continued.
Part Two: Lake Bled
One of the overused phrases in travel is picture perfect or just like a postcard. Yet I’m not sure what else one could say about Lake Bled. It has a small island in the middle of a lake, with a church built in the 1600s rising 99 steps above the lake. It has a castle up on a hill, overlooking the lake, and mountains on all sides. Even in the pouring rain, Lake Bled looked special. When the sun finally broke through the clouds in the early evening, it looked surreal.
Close to Bled is the Vintgar Gorge, where a rickety wooden path first built in 1893 leads you into the gorge alongside the rushing river. In places, the water was completely clear, and more often than not, it was a turquoise shade. It was really awesome.
You’re right, Lake Bled looks mystical & beautiful ~ the gorge & the water look ‘pretty as a postcard’ and the two of you look ‘picture perfect’ as well! I see you’re getting some use out of your teensy folded up ponchos. 🙂
What a beautiful place…it does look mystical and magical and surreal.
