In Slovenia

The second part of our European adventure took us to Slovenia.  Richard and Carrie wanted to take us to a place called Lake Bled.  It was gorgeous.  There was a stop before that at a castle called Predjama. Here are a view shots of our time in Slovenia.

This is a view out of the window of our room at this quaint, clean Bed and Breakfast near Lake Bled.  Richard and Carrie have stayed here a few times.

 Here are Richard, Joyce and Carrie visiting with Katja, the owner of the Inn.  They have a wonderful friendship with her.  Katja's English is strong and we had a great visit with her.  She is a tremendously hard worker and has developed a nice business.

 Dinner.  It was great.

 The Slovenian countryside is beautiful.  There are many fields that are being farmed.  It is really green and looks neat and tidy.

 This is the castle Predjama.  It is built into the rock of a huge, sheer cliff.  It is amazing to look at.  When you look at the walls they are incredibly straight and vertical.  It seems like it is impregnable but there are escape tunnels that go through the mountain.  I think this was built in 1593.

 Two blonds by a lake.  This is Lake Bled.  It is an idyllic lake with a castle in the middle of it.  It is beautiful and we are there just as the sun is starting to set behind the surrounding mountains.  It is a breathtaking view.

 A different view of the castle on Lake Bled.  It is a convent now.

 In front of our Inn, Torok Pension.  Richard, Carrie, Joyce and me.  A rather quaint group if I say so myself.  What a great time we had spending a day in Slovenia.
