Lake Bled

I arrived at the station at 3oclock and walked the 2km with my rucksack to the hostel which was easy enough to find.

My room is small but at the moment I'm the only one in it. Its a basic room with 2 bunks. As I was the only one in there I had the pick of the beds and steered well clear of the top bunks. The lockers weren't big enough for my rucksack so I attached it to my bed. The height of paranoia - locking up your rucksack in an empty, locked room so no one else can steal it. I think I have trust issues....

Jani, the owner, pointed out all the relevant things on a map and left me to it. I got lost trying to find one of the places he suggested to eat but ended up at another suggestion of his.

After eating I set off on a wander round the lake. It took me longer than Jani said it would but it was probably because I was stopping every 5 seconds trying to get a decent selfie (see a previous post for clarification). I still haven't got a very good one so the one I have will have to do. You can find it at the end of this post.

I haven't even been here half a day but already I'm wishing I was staying longer.

It took me 4 and a half hours to walk round the lake. I have 100 similar photos. Half are probably the same exactly. None look as good as what I could see with my eyes. When I finished I went and sat in a cafe with a nice view of the castle and the non-island church. By that I mean the church that isnt the one in the middle of the lake.

Tomorrow I'm going to get up early and head to the gorge.
