We walked into the Old Town of Ljubljana and explored the beautiful snow-covered streets. The triple bridges over the river are particularly beautiful as is the view of the Ljubljana Castle in the background.
   
   
   
 

   

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

 We picked up our hire car from Hertz at midday and then took a drive out to Lake Bled.
   
It snowed heavily the whole 45min trip but Scott handled the roads like a pro. Once we were there we were left breath taken. What a stunning place! With the snow falling and a misty fog cast over the lake and its surrounding buildings it was like being stuck inside a snow globe. 

   

  

  

  

  

    
 
  
 Photos really couldn’t capture the awe-inspiring views. We stopped for coffee, a beer and some traditional Slovenien cream cake…

  
..and when we came back out of the cafe the snow had stopped falling and the fog had cleared up, treating us to yet another spectacular view. Such a beautiful place.

   
   
Once back in Ljubljana we walked back into town to have dinner at the Ljubljana Castle. The fernacula tram leading up to the castle at the top of a mountain was broken so we got a free bus ride up instead. 

   
    

For dinner we shared 3 dishes, duck, Seabass and Klebasa with horseradish, all washed down with Schnapps. The grounds outside were lit with bright multicoloured lights that made the snow look even more magical. 

   
   
Once dinner was over Michele and Scott took the liberty of sculpting a beautiful snowman masterpiece on the bonnet of someone’s car while we waited for the bus back down.

    
 A taxi ride back to the apartment cost about 5euro and now to spend our last night in this beautiful town, ready for our next adventure tomorrow….lahko noč 🙂
