Europe 2005 Bled Tourist

Bled, Slovenia can be a day trip from Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia or it can be an overnight trip. There are plenty of accommodations in Bled. I took it as a long day trip. While it was only 30 miles from Ljubljana to Bled, I became enchanted with Bled, which I found to be something of a fairy-tale experience. Take it from me, any pictures I have of Bled don’t do it justice. I have seen some pictures on the internet which give a much better presentation of the of just how fascinating the area can be. One problem I had while I was there was that the weather was a bit foggy during my visit. This, however, gave the place something of a mystical aura. I liked Bled. I liked it a lot. It’s a place I’d like to go back to some day. 11/2005

Europe 2005 Ljubljana Walking Tour

Ljubljana had a nice walking tour that was very inexpensive that toured the city. Ljubljana is a something of a mediaeval city. It has a very large castle that was built in the late 15th century that is located at the summit of the hill that virtually dominates the center of the city . It is said that the area where the castle is situated has been continuously inhabited for over 3,000 years. 11/2005
