Bled, sweat & fun

We had a very fun and active stay in Bled. On the first day we walked up to the hill-top castle overlooking the lake.

We explored the town centre before heading back to 'our' side of the lake where we hired a swan-shaped rowing boat. It was a bit of a scary trip, but Greg managed to get us to the island dry.

The evening was enjoyed around another HUGE camp fire.

I was up early the next day so sat at the lake and watched the sun rise over the mountains, it was so beautiful and serene.

In the morning we followed a hiking route up the mountain next to the campsite. It was a steep but great path that led us up to several viewingpoints and peaks. We were surprised to find ourselves perched directly above our tent.

We hired some mountain bikes for the afternoon and cycled to Vintgar Gorge. After walking the special path along the gorge, we decided to take a dip below the waterfall. We were the only ones brave (or mad) enough to launch ourselves of the rocks into the icey cold water.

In the evening we walked into town and enjoyed a traditional Bled cream cake (Kremna Rezina). We tried our luck in the local casino, unfortunately we didn't get lucky but we did have lots of fun. As we walked back to the campsite, we enjoyed the nighttime view of the beautiful Lake Bled.
