Another beautiful cool but cloudless sky greeted us as we headed for Lake Bled. Once there we traveled by a wooden boat, powered by a man who rowed all 22 of us, to the island to climb the 99 steps to visit the church. His biceps were very impressive! The scenery was incredible. Time to explore and take and the vistas was given before we returned to the shore to then travel by bus the nearby hilltop castle, where the view was even more impressive.
Our final Slovenian experience was a delicious three course lunch at a castle, not far from the Croatian border. We sat outside in the courtyard sipping local wine and being treated to the most impressive meal we have had thus far.
We made our penultimate border crossing back into Croatia and arrived at our grand Art Deco hotel in Zagreb, the nation's capital. Some of us went for an early evening walk to the city with our guide it get an idea of the place. Not as impressive as our other cities/towns which have instantly impressed me with their ambience and old world charm. We'll see if it can capture me, as the other Croatian destinations have, when we explore tomorrow.
