i To meet up with Silke and Michael and tthe twins we drove to Bled a town on a lake in northern Slovenia. When we first visited Bled it was not well known and there were very few tourists.Things have changed with tourists everywhere now and large buses in streets designed for horse traffic.Michael's parents Christian and Margot also came to meet up and Michael found a house to rent where we could all be together for a few days.Silke only flew into Munich that day and so her sister Carina picked her up and drove her to Bled. Some pics from that time. |

Looking back down the lake with the small island near the far end. |

Another view across the lake to the castle. |
Well protected this side but one can drive up the other side. |
From a bit further away the main church comes into view |

The reflections can be very good too though not the best here. |
