Things on Cliffs

Welcome back once again! We have left Slovenia now, but hopefully I remember enough to give you an account of our last days there.

The last full day was mainly spent walking. There was a lot of walking. We trekked all the way around Lake Bled, with many detours up steep cliffs to visit various attractions. The first such attraction was a viewpoint- a difficult climb up, but astonishing views at the top.

Wow.
Stairs on the way down- who thought these were a good idea?
The second attraction was a castle on top of another cliff, because apparently everything we want to visit just has to be on a cliff.

The castle from afar. (It's the big castle-y thing on the left.)


Bonus points to whomever can guess which post this is a throwback to.
On our final day, we said goodbye to Lake Bled and drove to Ljubljana, the unpronounceable capital city of Slovenia, to see some sights.

A river cuts directly through the city.

Ljubljana is famous for the Dragon Bridge, a small bridge decorated with ornate dragons (and even a few gryphons on the lampposts.)

The city, by the way, is pronounced "Loob-lee-ah-nuh".

That's about all for now! Now that we've wrapped up in Slovenia, we're busy touring various Italian cities. And eating pasta every night.

See you next time!
