Day 17: Ljubljana/Lake Bled

After a sound nights sleep, we were ready to go to Bled, a place of natural beauty that was just rating to be spoilt by my ugly mug. Anyway, we got up, and enjoyed a lovely breakfast at the guesthouse, before showering, and heading out, as we were still lacking a higher spf sun cream and a good after sun, which we though we play as well get sooner rather than later. So with fanta in hand, we slid into DM, and then quickly back out again. And then it was station time.

Soon we were on the heavily graffitied train to Lesce, the nearest train station to the lake. It's only a short trip, but the scenery is stunning, and is worth the 5€ fee alone. Once at Lesce we got a bus to Bled, where our host picked us up, and took us to our apartment. After a quick guide to the area we were off, and we walked through the hills to the lake, which was beautiful (you're going to hear that word a lot over the next few posts). The water is crystal clear, there's a cute church on an island in the centre, and on a hill opposite you can see the castle, wait for the photos and you'll realise.

Next we went to the town, to grab some dinner. We ended up in a small Vegan Burger bar, and it was eye opening, so so delicious, although I haven't a clue what was in it. It was also well cheap, so shout out to ZaZiv Vegan Bar, if for whatever reason you read this, good job guys, I'll still eat meat, but vegan food can be tasty!

We then headed back, and picked up our swim stuff, before walking back to the lake. What followed was nothing short of hilarious. I was soon in the water, paddling happily, and the water was a lovely temperature. Mollie however, was stood ankle deep, claiming she'd forgotten to swim, whilst watching out for scary fish. Eventually she was coaxed in, through a koala back ride, which led to a little bit of swimming (only a little bit). Anyway, we swam for about half an hour, before watching the sun set, and the fish swim.

After this it was back to the room, where we relaxed, ready for a big day of walking, and more amazing sights.
