Lake Bled, Home of Tito

Dobar Dan:  (That's Good Day in Slovenian)  We took a bus ride through the rain today to Lake Bled, about an hours drive north, at the foot of the Julian Alps.  They're call Julian Alps because they are named after Julian Lennon.  At least that's what they told me.  When we arrived at the lake, Belinda prayed for sun and there it was.  Like out of nowhere.  She's awesome !!!  We brought Belinda's aunt Alice along to keep Belinda company.  It's worked out well.  They talk and I people watch.  It will make it a little more difficult to have some private time together (if you know what I mean) but "We made love in Slovenia" doesn't have the same ring as "We made love in Italy" so I'm happy to wait until we get to Italy.  (If you check back and this section is missing, you'll know Belinda has found it.) 



Internet cafes are few and far between in Ljubljana (Lubiana).  But we have tried to Skype, if only our kids were home.  What do they do when we are out of the country?  Don't they sit and wait for our emails and texts?  Remind me to tell you about Belinda and the "neck pillow" on the plane.  Anyway, it's been a nice day and tomorrow around 1pm (1300 for you Amerikanskis) we catch a train for Pula, Croatia.  Should be another interesting trip.  We change trains twice with a 3 minute connection for one transfer and a 6 minute connection on the 2nd.  We may not get out of Slovenia for a few days.  More later.  ciao (That's goodbye in cool talk)
