The weather today is cloudy and cool. We decided to travel to locations close-by. First we went to Lake Bohinj - a recreational area about 45 minutes from the pension. The lake is both a summer and winter resort with skiing in the winter and sailing, para-sailing, and hiking i the summer. At the ewst end of the lake is a cable car which takes people to the summit of Mt. Vogel - an 8 minute ride. Unfortunately the top was in clouds so we settled for a coffee at the top before heading back down. Next stop was the Vintgar Gorge which offered a very nice walk through the gorge. On the way back we stopped in a local supermarket and it was much like a Save-On store - even with similar brands. Their bread and cheese was very reasonable. Tomorrow we are off to an earlier start back to Munich and the Marriot near the airport. We will return the car tomorrow and take the shuttle since we have an early flight on Friday.

I had to catch up on a few days of pictures and itinerary. You have done so much and you'll have a lot of organized pictures to reflect on. What beautiful places you've been to! Thanks for sending the directory website. I guess it's easy to get an apartment for rent anywhere. Must be better than a hotel? Have a safe trip back and look forward to seeing you soon! Carol
