We woke up early in the morning,
ate a hearty breakfast provided by our wonderful B&B,
then took a short bus ride to Kranj.
The old town of Kranj dates back to medieval times
and some of the original walls still exist.
This church sits on one of those walls,
and you can walk out over a glass floor to look at it.
We then traveled up to Lake Bled
and checked into our apartment for the next couple nights
(this adorable yellow house!)
The apartment had a nice kitchenette so the first thing we did
was stop by the grocery store to buy food for lunches and dinner.
After eating lunch, we took a short 10 minute walk to Bled Castle.
We have been in several castles,
and from our experience they are generally
more exciting from the outside than the inside.
So we opted to just explore the grounds.
One of the beautiful churches in Bled.
Most Slovenians are devout Catholics,
and you can see that devotion displayed everywhere.
Relaxing by the lake.
We stopped at Sava Hotel for some original Bled cream cake.
(This is where the cake was invented!)
Later in the afternoon we hiked up Hrib Straža for beautiful views of the lake.
At the top, a cool picture frame had been built for awesome photo op's.
We took about 2 dozen photos ;)
Walking around the backside of Hrib Straža.
That evening we cooked dinner and watched The Amazing Race.
We tried to guess potential detours and pit stops if the show were to come to Bled :)
