Bled

It's been a long day today. We left Plitvicka Lakes at 7.45am. On the way to Bled we stopped at a couple of places for a comfort stop. Soon I will reach my limit of taking it all in. So much to see and to learn. Our lunch stop was in Opatija, another beautiful little town in Croatia. From there we drove to Pot something where we visited the most gorgeous limestone caves. We are now in Slowenia, which is part of the common market and it is another currency yet again. These caves are really something. They are 20km long with literally hundreds of caves. We were taken by train underground and then for 2 hours shown some absolutely magnificent Stalagmites and stalagtides. And yes, I do know which is which. Stalagtides grown DOWN, stalagmites UP. Some of these formations were huge. Brilliant white with diamonds sprinkled ev erywhere. It was fabulous. From there is was another hour and a half to our Hotel in Bled. We all have rooms with lovely views over the lake and the castle. Tomorrow it will be a visit to the castle, then the optional tour on the lake itself and then dinner in a little village on the lake. This is optional also, but we are going to "DO" it. Sitting in the bus for such a long time - my back which has not bothered me much these past few days - is complaining and I must go and lie down.
I will keep you posted.
