You only get wet once …

We just got our panniers on the bikes and had to pull out the rain jackets. The whole ride in the rain … option which wasn’t even discussed … the train … that would be no fun at all.

A late pic before we leave of France Preseren, the greatest Slovenian poet. The seventh stanza of his poem ‘Toast’ serves as the Slovenian national anthem.

We are parallel to the Sava River today, it’s flowing well after the rain last night and today.

A few rolling hills and steady rain on the roads made the day interesting. A coffee under a cafe umbrella, too embarrassed to go inside dripping wet.

So many different routes and villages all well signed posted.

Thankfully only a 35km day as the rain didn’t let up, we arrived in Bled to a cloud covered lake but soon the rain stopped and the sun shone, giving us the opportunity to walk around the lake, some 6km. Sadly I had a small phone issue (moisture) so pics of the lake will have to wait until tomorrow.

Of course I had to have a cream cake seen around Slovenia, however, it is said to originate from Bled.

We are in a 1 bedroom apartment on the 5th floor, no lift, 80 steps not to mention the walk up the hill to get here. Good for your fitness Johnny!!
