Ljubljana, Slovenia | Travel
Ljubljana doesn't have any must see sights nor is it very big for a capital city but it's a fantastic place to just be. It has the essential ingredients for a great European city. An atmospheric cute pedestrian only old town - check. A castle on a hill - check. Great architecture from a famous architect (Jože Plečnik) - check. A canal with atmospheric cafes and restaurants - check. It's no wonder Rick Steves calls Ljubljana the next next Prague (after Krakow). There's great food, cafes, and bars littered throughout the city. We could spend hours just hanging out and wandering around from cafe to cafe.
Lake Bled, Slovenia | Travel
This was the first stop on our trip through the Balkans. When planning our itinerary we heard a lot of recommendations to stay in Lake Bohinj instead of Bled because it was less touristy and supposedly just as beautiful. In fact every local we asked in Slovenia about which lake they visit they all unanimously said Bohinj because Bled was too touristy. But in the end we chose Bled because of the amazing Castle and Church on an island views. We see plenty of gorgeous lakes living next to the Sierra's. How often do we get to visit a lake with a Castle and Church on an island that looks like something out of a fairy tale?? Never!
