Beautiful Slovenia

So our second day in Slovenia we took a trip out to the town of Bled to see its famed lake. It definately did not disappoint us; it was absolutely gorgeous. We walked the 6km path around the lake's circumference, and hired a boat, where Dave got in a workout rowing us around. Photos to follow (but they don't do it justice.) Back in Ljubljana, we went out for some drinks and a lovely meal at a Slovenian restaurant with Krystal, a girl from our hostel.
The final day saw us up at the castle, perched atop a hill overlooking Ljubjana, where we discovered that the viewing tower was closed for renovations. Our next stop was the Tivoli park (which we discovered served as a hangout for the local Ljubljana teenage population) and the Contemporary History Museum, which covered the 20th century history of Slovenia. Then it was a matter of waiting for our night train.
We are currently in Split, Croatia, catching a ferry tomorrow to Hvar Island, where we will spend two very relaxing days before hitting Dubrovnik.
