first morning in Bled and we’re off to get a closer look at Lake Bohinj. another really beautiful body of water. a bit like a small Tahoe, but without homes on the waterfront and higher water level.

after photo taking at the lake we went for a drive to see a small hilltop village, Zajamniki. ok, it’s not really a village, it’s a collection of shepherd’s huts, which are arranged along a mountain “street”. currently these are used primarily as holiday homes, but the mountain has retained its original appearance. this is seriously the definition of mountain charm.

then it was off to the last water sight of the trip, Vintgar Gorge. of course it wouldn’t have been a worthwhile sight if we didn’t have to hike there first, in the heat and humidity. i know, the mention of heat and humidity makes a guest appearance quite a bit in this blog, but it is the thorn in my side, or rash on my legs, as the case may be.

Vintgar Gorge made their path one direction, so people moved through at a pretty good pace, and there wasn’t such a back-up along the way. a wooden walkway and paths made it easy to navigate, such a gorgeous area and a beautiful way to end the nature portion of the vacation.

i can’t believe tomorrow we’re off to Zagreb, the last stop of the trip……it seems like i just got here.
