Lake Bled is Lovely

Micah and I took the night train from Munich to Lake bled Slovenia. It is just amazing! There is aqua crystal clear lake with a castle overlooking and a island with a church in the middle completely surrounded by mountains! The homes are very quaint Alpine looking homes. We walked so many stairs I thought my legs would fall off! The castle has amazing views and we saw it first thing! We were rowed in a gondola type boat to the island in the middle of the lake with the church. Things are kinda pricey here, 3 euros to get into the church each . But you get to ring the bell and Make a wish. Micah and I also had some famous creme cake( puffy pastry with a thick layer of custard and whipped creme between it). Yummy! I also took a bit in the chilly lake but it felt so good!
Then today we took an tour in the Julian alps with 1 canadian and a british couple. We saw some awesome mountains, ate a yummy lunch, did two fabulous hikes and met some wonderful people! For part of one hike you had to hold onto a cable rope and walk on a vary narrow ledge! It took you to an underground lake where the Soca river started. We also saw the longest ski jump in the world.
Slovenia is wonderful!! So laid back and friendly. Micah is watching world cup with our guide right now. I will try to put on some pix soon.
Dober Dan!! Good day in Slovenian!
By the way... My thighs will be able to crush coconuts when we are done with this trip!! But we are eating very good!
chat later!! Much love Sarah and Micah
