The first thing I learnt when I got to sunny Slovenia was that they have a  healthy population of brown bears… now in the last few years I’ve had this weird obsession with bears which has included making a paper mache 6 foot bear and multiple dreams.I have decided that the bear is my spirit animal, so clearly this trip was then meant to be. However, before you all get too excited I saw none *disappointed/relieved face*. After having multiple locals laugh at me while I tentatively asked if there are bears up in dem hills… they advised me that in fact they were further south so we had nothing to worry about.

Before I keep rambling on about bears how about some photos?

Love those old ramshackled old houses

View out our hotel window

Giant bennie!

Pretty shadows on pretty churches

Main River that runs through Ljubljana 

Invader street art

Lettuce anyone?

Loved all the colours and textures 

Our train to Lake Bled

Next stop was the beautifully famous Lake bled where we spent 3 days wandering around the icy lake, having coffee in the sun and admiring the fawny alpine forests.

There was a lot of Jesus

Most of the lake was frozen

Local Restaurant very …homely 

Tree frozen into the lake
