Slovenia - Bled

Following a very cold night we woke to find the rain had stopped and there were a few pieces of blue sky trying to pierce the grey clouds.
We explored Bled today. Yes, Ian and Mazza Bazza.... we finally made it... sorry we were 3yrs late for the wedding!
Lake Bled is absolutely stunning! It has a little island in the middle with a gorgeous old church perched on top.  
To get to the church you must take a row boat to the island and then walk up 99 steps. Traditionally, if you are getting married here, the groom will carry his bride to be up the steps after rowing her across the lake. Lets just say Jack is glad we were married in Brisbane :-).
Bled Castle sits high on a cliff looking out over the lake. The views from here are stunning.
Later in the day we could see snow falling on the surrounding mountains. 
So besides freezing, we had a wonderful relaxing day, topped off with a glass of wine back at our camp site.
