Mother nature gave Slovenia
a gift of the great outdoors and the Slovenian people have worked hard to conserve it. We stayed in
Bled, a beautiful town surrounding a lake filled with emerald green water from the Julian Alps that tower proudly in the background. This
place is simply beautiful. If you love the nature, you will love this place. We loved it and the hostel,
Traveller's Haven, so we extended our stay. On my birthday, we hiked up to the castle (like 4 times), rented a boat and Schanell canoed to the church perched on an island in the middle of the lake while I laid back and enjoyed the ride, and we biked around the lake. My birthda
y dinner quickly turned into a party with 25 new found English friends that we celebrated with into the wee hours of the morning. They
even
sang me 'happy birthday', complete with the posh Queen's accent.
On our second day we went on a 12-hour tour of the
Triglav National Park hosted by the hip and local tour company,
3glav Adventures. We hiked to the highest point in Slovenia, 2864 m (9396 ft), jumped off a bridge about 20 m (65 ft) into the COLD emerald Soca river, swam
under the
Kozjak waterfall, snapped photos of the
Boka waterfall, and hiked to the source of the Soca river. At the end of another adrenalin-filled day, 'that is the way we roll', our (very attractive) Slovenian guide gave us a gift, a local Slovenian beer, as we took the car-train ride back to Bled.
A great day indeed!

Your pictures show a beautiful place. I especially love the picture of the tree in the foreground. Some stays are just for pleasure. Happy Birthday!!!! (It takes a great photographer to capture the highlights along the way).
