Lake Bled

After only 24 hours on three different trains we arrived at Lake Bled - I can't understand why people bother with planes. The Paris - Munich leg was a was a little less luxurious than we'd hoped; our comfortable two berth cabin was downgraded to a less than conformable 4/6 berth with a French couple. Fortunately the frogs kicked up so much of a stink they were found their own cabin.
The Munich - Lesce Bled leg across the Austrian Alps was suitably picturesque; and if we'd had more than an hour's sleep on the night train we might have really appreciated it.
Lake Bled itself is impossibly pretty. Pictures to follow, but here's a link to photos of the fun we had in the Triglav national park.

Edit: finally manged to get on a machine to do photos.



Kirsten's Flashpacker Review:
Hotel Berc, Lake Bled (http://www.berc-sp.si/html/HotelGB.htm) – This place was a real gem. Okay, so the décor isn't exactly trendy (pine, pine and more pine), but the staff were very friendly, our room was large and bathroom spotless. The buffet breakfast was also good, with plenty of fresh bread, cheese and cold meats (enough for us to sneakily make up sandwiches for our lunch).
