Bled, SLOVENIA

I'm in the northwestern region of Upper Carniola of Slovenia, in the pretty little town called Bled...built at one end of the glacial lake Bled. A small island in the middle of the lake is home to a beautiful old church and perched on a rock overlooking the lake is the iconic Bled Castle. It's like a mix of Lake Tahoe (California) and the Lofoten Islands (Norway). Totally awesome....turquoise lake surrounded by the Julian Alps...covered in snow most of the time...but not right now as we're having some balmy weather up here.

Staying in a private home with the mountains out my back patio. Mountain biking the whole day today in the beautiful Triglav National Park...and cycled through several of the nearby villages....and eating lots of fresh cherries!
