Spectacular, Spectacular!

Another splendid day! It's just one after another, and Bill, Mary and I took full advantage of it! Out wandering toward the lake, Bill located a shop with bags, one of them the perfect size for this mini, the camera and other essentials I carry around, so the difficulty I identified yesterday has been resolved handily.



You can enjoy the lovely day for yourself--looking across the near end of Lake Bled and---
up toward the castle. 

Though it would be impressive to say we climbed to the summit, we drove most of the way, rode further in a van and walked only the final bit, the view was spectacular, with a monastery on an island in the lake and the valley spread out below.
The frosting on the castle cake was the medieval festival taking place with flags flying through the air, tossed by courtiers--
Exhausted by the spectacle, we re-fortified ourselves with the Bled 'cake' seen in the previous unattached entry  (I'll get better at managing this content, probably by the time I return home,) then walked the length and back of Vintgar Gorge, 


 Do you not agree?   A Spectacular Day!!!

  1. Wonder of Wonders, Spectacle upon Spectacle
    Slovenia took our Jackie by the hand
    She turned around and—miracle of miracles—
    Found she was in Bled Cream Cake Land!
