Today we visited the main attractions of Lake Bled. We walked around the lake first thing in the morning. About halfway around, we rented a rowboat to row to a small island in the middle of the lake. This picturesque little island is home to a church and cafe. It was a glorious morning.After lunch we indulged in a slice of cream cake that is the signature dessert of the area. I'm not a big fan of whipped cream so I thought it was so-so. I think I'll stick with the ice cream.
We wrapped things up by climbing the hill to Bled castle. You can see the castle on the left-hand side of the second photo. Views of Bled and the surrounding area from this vantage point were outstanding. We could even see large fish in the lake when we looked down. If only I'd had my fishing pole and a really, really long line!
And finally, here is proof that Mr. Snootypurse did indeed accompany me on this trip. It's so hard to get pictures together when you're traveling.
How dreamy! I wish I were there with my canvases & paints. What a great shot #2 is - Did Mr. Snootypurse photoshop that boat in?
ReplyDeleteYou two look just like some people I know, but their names aren't Snootypurse.
Just good timing on the boat. They putter around fairly consistently ferrying people to the island. No motors allowed on the lake so its peaceful.
