I made a note in my pocket book "Slovenians = very friendly people!!!" ... I made that note because we had come across so many open, friendly, happy and helpful people in our short time in Slovenia ... we really got the impression that they lived up to the countries tourism slogan "I feel sLOVEnia" ... the countries best advertisement is their people ... sure the scenery is breathtaking ... the people really made it so much better ... in a shop, a bar, in the street, they were just very friendly and helpful to us - thank you so much!!!

Bled is just incredible

"Gasp, ohh ahh, wow, that is just so lovely, amazing and beautiful" - some of the many reactions we had to scenery around Bled. Vintgar Gorje was also well worth a visit, we got there via bus and then walked back into Bled. The walk back took us a few hours, on the way we had a few beers and a good feed!

I will let the photos tell the tale of Bled - except for our last night when we had a "few" drinks at a bar with some Irish newly weds. The young lady working in the bar was very friendly, as was here girlfriend who turned up later with their small dog to say hello. The Irish couple were full of newly wed excitement and we had a fun night drinking and talking. I must confess that we also smoked a few cigarettes with them also. We paid next morning for our wicked excesses - big time - oh my aching head - do not mix beer, whiskey, honey brandy and champers!!!

Oh, the lane ropes and markers on the lake were there because some world championship rowing was being held on the lake not long after our visit.

Beautiful pictures and words
I wanted praised you for so beautifully presentation. I only have one warning that it may be beneficial to other travelers. Vintgar is called Gorje and not Gorge. Really only one letter, but a name of the place is completely changed. Thank you for your understanding and once again all the praise. Greetings from Slovenia Jana

Gorje v's Gorge
Thanks Jana! I will fix my spelling, I used the english version of the word, I can see how that could be confusing. Cheers!
