Salzburg to Bled




Today I made the trip from Salzburg to Bled, Slovenia. The route took me South through the Alps. The views of the mountains was fantastic, but a lot of the road was through tunnels so you did not see much of mountain passes. The weather has turned definitely fall like. The trees are all turning and the ride yesterday was quite cold.

Bled is beautiful. It seems to be a major tourist area, with a lot of fancy hotels. The lake has an island, the only island in Slovenia, with a beautiful old church on it. You can rent swan boats and paddle around the lake. Above the lake, on a high cliff is an old castle. After arriving here I just drove around the local roads seeing the sites.

I am staying in a campground, which is pretty luxurious. I have never seen anything like it in Canada, although I dont stay much at resorts.
