We went to Lake Bled today. Cloudy but no rain. It is beautiful nonetheless. Photos to follow eventually.

dcd: The joke was about take the Funicular that is only 220 feet long and it takes " one minute" to ride...... but you can take nice pictures as you go up. !!

I will come to the SSNLC Thread and the European thread to follow you.

Hi everyone!!!!

So far, 3 weeks in, no one on either tour has been sick, knock on wood. So strange to not wear a mask for 3 straight weeks outside of our flight from Dubrovnik to Zagreb and on an underground cave tour. The locals aren’t masked and no one on our tours has been either. Fingers and toes crossed.

We are no longer in Croatia but want to share some photos.

We miss Croatia! But many other countries to explore!




Pretty isle on the lake

Former presidential palace on the lake now used for dignitary visits.

Time to visit the isle. These guys are in phenomenal shape.

Getting closer. Love the reflection.

We are now on the island. We’re getting used to the steps but we aren’t in the Floridas’ league! At least not yet!

Old church on the island

Impressive alter

Hi dcd:

Glad you are feeling okay everyday and no light head sensations and also that no one got Covid.

Love all the pictures of Ljubljana and the Island of Lake Bled.

Hope the pictures stay here ( for a while).

Take Care and Stay Safe !!!

When dcd posts in the Lounge in the SSNLC, those pictures that are travel only are moved here to the European Forum

Those pictures with he and/or his wife, stay in the
Lounge
I will let dcd know an out the move.

Point of clarification. The last batch of photos were moved from the lounge and do not depict Croatia. They were taken in Slovenia.

I had never really considered Slovenia as a destination but your photos are really lovely. I'll have to do some research.

Nice picture of the "reflection" as you approach the Isle of Bled.

Wonder what the refractive index of that lake water is !!

Such beautiful pictures. Always love the ones with flowers. Croatia is on my list. This year is Greece for wedding and then Austria and Slovenia.

Hi dcd! Loved all our photos and they brought back wonderful memories of our trip to Croatia and Slovenia in 2019. You went to a couple interesting places in Croatia that we did not. Sorry to hear that Zagreb is still suffering so. I loved Zagreb and all of the inland portions of the country we visited. It was a fascinating part of Croatia very different from the coast which is as you show, beautiful.

@janisj - definitely consider visiting Slovenia! Ljubljana is on my favorite cities list. In fact, the Balkans in general are worth visiting. Sarajevo is on my list, too, and there is plenty of excellent scenery.
