Slovenia

This is a very pretty place. The capital Ljubljana is very picturesque with a castle complete with funicular for easy access up the hill and a pretty river with many bridges.









The day got greyer and drizzle started as our walking tour ended back at the bus and we headed out of the city and into the forested mountains with farms and villages in green clearings. Everything is green as green and lush vege gardens are in every backyard. Everyone is getting in the wood for winter and sheds are stacked high with neatly split timber.





The glacial lakes at Bled and Bohinj were as green as the grass when the sun shone through but it rained proper as our boatsmen rowed us all across to the Bled Island and church and then as we went up the Bohinj mountain gondola to the ski fields for coffee above the cloud line.










Now there is thunder and lightning but our hotel is plush and warm. Early start tomorrow.

Love Wendy and Graeme
