Back in Slovenia...

On Sunday afternoon I left Vienna and headed to Bled in Slovenia.  Some of the ride was motorway but other parts went through the Karawanken mountain range.  It is very hot and turned out to be quite a long ride due to all the stops I kept making to drink!

I arrived in Bled at about 8 o' clock, the traffic leaving was bumper to bumper and so I figured it was either a dump or a popular tourist spot for a Sunday day out.  No need to worry it's lovely.  When I got to the campsite I didn't really feel like putting all the gear up and so I opted to go Glamping.  As you can see it's a cross between a shed and a sauna.  It certainly felt like a sauna at about 11 at night.  To be honest though it's a really good idea.  The bed is very comfortable and it's like being in a wooden tent.

Today I decided to use  different two wheeled transport and hired a mountain bike.  I cycled around Lake Bled and took plenty of photos.  The water is so clear you can see the fish swimming around in it. 

In the afternoon I became a bit more adventurous on the bike and cycled up a mountain, I was quite pleased with myself seeing as I haven't cycled uphill on gravel for a while.  I promised myself that when I finally got down I was going straight to the lake for a swim and whilst the downhill wasn't that much fun due to poor brakes ( well no brakes really) , as soon as I got back to the lake I went in.  I was expecting it to be really cold being freshwater but it wasn't.  It was great!  Although I was just in my shorts, I think I will have to upgrade my swimwear as you can see.  What do you think?  Will it catch on?
