Big Sis in a Small World
Lake Bled, Slovenia

Now this is what I call a nice lake...


That's Lake Bled in Slovenia, and it even has a chateau...


... and a castle...


Slovenia is what I call a nice country, in fact it is my fave country of the trip so far. Admittedly, I still don't think I am travelling in it legally, but the roads are fantastic and clear, the people are ever so friendly (and their English is better than mine) and the scenery is beautiful. Oh, and it's cheap. Slovenia wins the prize for the cheapest petrol of the whole road trip.

On the first morning, I awoke early (in my terms) to go for a quick run around the lake of blood and take a few photos. Unlike Lake Garda, there was not a tourist attraction in sight, it was just calm and beautiful and the cheap hotel where I stayed was also beautiful.


That's it in the background. Following my run, I headed up to the castle to get a few more picturesque shots, and sat in the sun, wishing I didn't have to leave.


I could have happily stayed another day or even a week, but I had a dinner date in Vienna that night, a Sound of Music tour in Salzburg the next day and another date arriving in Bergestaden the day after that. Life is tough on the road...
