Bled, Slovenia – 2016 – iPhone
We went on a wonderful tour around Bled Lake. We took a boat (like a Gondola) across to Bled Island and walked up the 90 steps to the Church of Mary the Queen. It is such a beautiful area!

Predjama Castle
Predjama, Slovenia – 2016 – iPhone
What an amazing castle that we were able to visit! Inside you can go into the cave, which is impressive and the views are awesome! This castle was built in about the 13th century into a large cave, it has been added to over the years. In the 16th century, it was obtained by the Knights of Adelsberg and has remained pretty much unchanged since then. The only access to it was by those within putting a ladder out a window and down it’s face, allowing their guests to climb in. It was a very safe place from enemies and invaders!
Ponte Delle Catene
Bagni di Lucca, Italy
We went to the city that Paola is from, Bagni di Lucca, a very quaint, pretty village nestled in the mountains. I walked across the Bridge of Chains (Ponte Delle Catene) and there was a chair waiting there for me to RELAX on. I sat down and waited, soon enough a bike came along, there is nothing like a bike, a bridge and relaxing all together! 😊

Ancient Roman Aquaduct?
Lucca, Italy – 2016 – iPhone
As we came into Lucca we saw this Ancient Roman Aqueduct from the freeway. Craig mentioned to Francesco that I’d like to take a photo of it, so he took us out to it. This aqueduct was built in 1823 so is not an Ancient Roman Aqueduct like we thought, though Francesco said there was one there before. But, it does look like the aqueducts that were built by the Ancient Romans. Anciently, it took water from the Serchio River in Lucca to Pisa, about 20 miles away. It’s amazing what the ancient Romans did!
Ponte Della Maddalena
Borgo a Mozzano, Italy
Craig’s cousin, Francesco, took us to see his wife, Paola’s, home town. On the way we passed this bridge (Ponte Della Maddalena or Ponte Del Diavolo – “Bridge of Mary Magdalena” or “Devil’s Bridge”), which was on my list to take photos of, so it was perfect! And, the weather and lighting were so good, giving a perfect reflection in the Serchio River! This bridge was built between 1046-1115 AD.

Relaxing In Snow, Zagreb-Lucca
On The Road Zagreb-Lucca
Vipava, Slovenia – 2016 – iPhone
We had a beautiful drive from Zagreb, Croatia to Lucca, Italy. The snow eased up as we got closer to Italy. We didn’t have time to stop and take all the photos I wanted 😉 (it would have taken hours) so I did what I could and snapped photos from the car! Slovenia’s countryside is beautiful!

Plitvička Jezera, Croatia
We drove for about an hour and a half from Zagreb Croatia and we went to the most awesome waterfalls at the Plitvice Lakes National Park! When we talked to our friend, David Grant, the night before, he was telling us about these waterfalls and drawing a map on his whiteboard, I asked him where the waterfalls were and he replied, everywhere, they are everywhere! And, they are! They are so beautiful, they are breathe taking! These are the largest and they are called the Large Waterfalls.
