Be still my heart.
After our day of sightseeing in Ljubljana, we took a bus to our next Slovenian destination: Bled.
I am so in love with this little town. Bled is a very popular tourist destination (you’ll see why in my next post) but we weren’t tripping over tourists. Even with the World Rowing Championships in town, Bled wasn’t very crowded.
The B&B we stayed in was a giant traditional house with three floors and several rooms. I loved the house but the atmosphere was a bit… unfriendly. We think our host may have been having a bad day (or two).
Just outside we found the proof that Slovenians tend to be religious.
Whatever happened to gnome lawn art?
After settling in to our room, our first order of business was to swim in the gorgeous green lake. Due to the regatta, swimming was forbidden in several areas. We chose to swim at a park located under the local castle. We left our cameras in the room in favor of a worry free afternoon.
In the evening we walked along the water and enjoyed the fresh air. Being outside in pleasant weather feels like a luxury when you know you’re heading back to heat and humidity in just a few short days.
I found a few pretty flowers too.
