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

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!

We sadly left Zagreb, Croatia (after having a wonderful time) and headed for Lucca, Italy. Surprisingly, we had a lot of snow as we passed thru Slovenia, maybe it was from the rain we had, the day before, in Zagreb??

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!

Beautiful Countryside
