While in Ljubljana and considering our next stop, we began to wonder why we had chosen to spend the next 9 days (!) in Bled, a small village around a pretty lake.
 |
| We started off with lunch at a nice lakeside hotel, and our food was delivered by Rok the robot server. Weird introduction... |
 |
| And yes, we remembered, we DID have a reason for coming here on the weekend and staying for awhile. Bled days festival meant live music on weekend nights. This stage was basically right outside of our door. |
 |
| We made the trek uphill to Castle Bled. They had a Lord and Lady just sitting there drinking wine and taking pics with tourists all day. I passed the Lord of the castle going to the bathroom, then peed on top of his pee, so I'm basically the lord of Bled castle now. |

 |
| A few days in, we rented a car and started exploring the surroundings. This is Pericnik Waterfall. Waterfall in Slovenian is Slap, so we had lots of fun reading road signs. We also took an unnecessarily difficult hike to an ugly little lake on our way back. |
 |
| A little hike on the Mostnica River. |
 |
| When you come across grazing animals, don't be a dumbass. |

| Lake Bohinj, biggest lake in Slovenia, viewed from the top of the Vogel cable car. |
 |
| Slap Savica! |
Lake Bled was just beautiful, like a postcard everywhere you looked. there's a castle on the cliff overlooking the lake, and a little church on an island in the middle. Ridiculous.
Rani, being who she is, challenged me to a photo contest, so here it goes (let me know your votes, and I'll only tell her about it if you vote for me):

We spent plenty of time chillin in our apartment as well, sort of taking a break from the vacation of it all. Did a little cooking. Overall, probably a few too many days to spend here, but we made good use of it.
 |
| On our way out, we stopped for a quick breakfast, and guess who showed up: Renata the robot server! Creepy, but also cool. |
 |
| Bee update: if you want to keep them away from your beer, order an iced tea. |
