Vintgar Gorge-ous!

It's hard to believe that our time in Slovenia is drawing to an end.  We head out very early tomorrow morning to return to Croatia to spend our anniversary in Plitvice National Park.  (It was while watching a Rick Steves' show on Croatia and seeing Plitvice that we knew we wanted to visit this part of the world one day!)  We have absolutely loved Slovenia, especially Lake Bled.  Today was another great day.  We took a short bus ride to Vintgar Gorge, and the area was magical.  I felt like I was in another world, like something out of Lord of the Rings.  It was breathtaking!  The majority of the walk is along a boardwalk that's built into the walls of the gorge, above the most beautiful, clear blue water I have ever seen.  We could even see fish, hovering in the current, waiting for food.  Our pictures do not do this place justice.  Once we made it through the gorge, we walked about 5 miles back to Bled and it was beautiful country.  After a delicious pizza lunch, we decided to spend the rest of the day at the lake.  Eric wanted to see how chilly the water was, and decided to go for a swim.  He said it was, "Refreshing."  After his swim, he wanted to dry off along the lake, so we decided to feed the ducks and swans.  Little did we know that we would be feeding the mice too!  It was very relaxing and fun. We're off to pack and turn in now.  Hope everyone is doing well!
