June 1 Bled Castle Gorge Ljubljana Village

Sun! It's been so long since we've seen it and it's the perfect day for Bled, Bled castle and the Vintgar gorge. Bled was beautiful but I guess I expected more based on all the chatter. My cousin Gerhard's opinion was that we have scenery just as nice in Canada but, we do not have many castles built on a rock on the mountain. Vintgar gorge was worth the drive. An hour hike beside a river that is crystal clear and that is cut through the rocks. I would highly recommend it. Since the sun was still peeking through the clouds, we headed for Ljubljana. We did the Readers Digest version of the city centre; the square, the bridges, the buildings and McDonald's for lunch. We were soon heading back to Narin, stopping at Rude so Carl could invite him for dinner. A brief walking tour ensued followed by a trip to Cveto's house where the whole family visites over proscuit, potica and wine. I got the rest of the evening off to relax and update my blog while Carl dined with Rude and another friend.
