Lake Bled, Bohinj and the Alps

drive to Lake Bled, with backdrop of Julian AlpsYesterday we drove to Lake Bled, an hours’ drive from metropolitan Ljubljana, which is like being transported in time. The lush green valleys look peaceful and right out of a storybook, and the Julian Alps in the backdrop are so breathtaking.  We took an afternoon bike ride around the lake, and enjoyed a pleasant sunset over Lake Bled.

picnic lunch under the ski liftWe went to Bohinj today.  We took a gondola ride up the mountain and hiked around. We stopped for a picnic lunch under a ski chairlift. Looking out at the snow tipped Alps made me want to go skiing, instead I got a bee sting.
