Bled, Slovenia

This past weekend, we decided to go to Bled, Slovenia and Trieste, Italy. Jason and Joanna were in town visiting us and we wanted to take a little road trip to show them around.

We left on Thursday afternoon and headed to Bled, Slovenia which is only a little more that 2 hours away from our flat. We had never been but had heard through friends that it was a place worth a visit.

We arrived at our hotel, changed and walked around the city. We took a little hike up to Bled Castle. The view from the top was simply amazing. Lake Bled is just gorgeous and there were so many people out enjoying the gorgeous weather.











We walked around a bit before heading back to our hotel for dinner. We chose a nice spot near the lake that served delicious Slovenian food. The desserts were incredible. So much so that we ordered a dessert platter and then one more each. Delish!! Of course Jason went off and took some pretty amazing pictures during and after the sunset. He is such a great photographer!




The next morning Jason and I woke up bright and early and ran around Lake Bled which was a whopping 6 km. It was a great run and I'm so glad we did it. We got to see the whole lake and area around it. It was such a nice, sunny morning too!

After our run, we walked around the market before heading off to see the Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle on our way to Trieste.

Although we only stayed in Bled for one night, it was very much worth the visit. If you are ever in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by. It is such a charming little town. We are definitely going to go back!! xx
