The next stop on my little European jaunt was Lake Bled in Slovenia. Neither words or pictures can do justice to how beautiful this place is. I would recommend that you get on the plane now - why wait to visit!!
Once again, it was bloody cold (-10deg or so) but quite frankly it just didn't matter. We were lucky enough to have a couple of beautiful days where we could see for miles. Lake Bled is relatively small and you can walk around it in a couple of hours if you don't stop to exclaim how beautiful it is every 100m. We took a boat out to Bled Island which has a beautiful church at it's apex and in which you can ring the church bell for luck. After the boat ride, I recommend a hearty Slovenian lunch (I had goulash) and a cleansing ale.
