the lake


Bled

Monday morning I was leaving to Ljubljana, but the rain had stopped sunday evening, and now Monday was sunny. Sun changes everything, at least in this place. I thought I couldn't leave early and miss to swim in the lake.
It was a bit chilly though, so I went to do the walk around the lake.
There were so many boats around to rent and I regretted that I was alone in my hike and I wouldn't hire a boat on my own (too tiring!)
I paid to be taken to the Island to see the church. The church is said to have a 1000 years, and the little Island was beautiful.

I kept walking when I came back to the island, looking for a spot to get to swim. I got there. And the water was bit cool but extremely clear, and I enjoyed so much to immerse my self in those quiet and transparent waters, at last.
There were children around, and ducks, and swams! I swimmed with swams!

Just before I left Bled i went back to the patiserrie shop, which was wonderful besides the Krema Rezina, and I got another Slovenian classic, POPILCA (I think) which is a cake made of yeast dough filled with a paste of walnuts and cinammon and raisins, and rolled like a swiss roll and baked in a tin.
That was very good and I will try to reproduce it.

So early in the afternoon, me and the australian farmer took the bus to LjubLjana.
