We squeezed in a visit to Lake Bled between leaving the Kranjska Gora area and our next campsite at Kamnik, further east. It was full of people (literally) but that was OK because we were expecting it. We enjoyed a picturesque walk around lake, blew our budget on a nice lunch (including club sandwiches, and the best burger Dave can remember eating), went for a paddle, and Jo inspected the world championship rowing course.

Castle looking imposing

Fountains are much more interesting than castles

Fountains!

Where’s the castle? No, that’s a dog…

Castle and island chapel (still Bled)

Although a busy day, this obviously didn’t tire Jess out because on arrival at Kamnik she was extraordinarily keen to climb all over the van…
