Christmas in Europe - Slovenia Day 14

Castle on the hill over looking Lake Bled
Sadly we only had one day for skiing but are definitely going back next year. 

We left early in the morning to stop at Lake Bled before we drove back to Slovakia.  We wanted to take a boat out to the church in the middle of Lake Bled.  It was a cold and rainy day, but still beautiful.
The Church of Assumption on Bled Lake.

The only way to get to the Church of  Assumption on an island in the center of the lake is by a boat or Pletna.  We hired a boat to take us all out to the church.
Aboard our Pletna


The 99 steps leading up to the church.

It was beautiful but so cold.  The highlight of the island was having hot chocolate.  Not just any hot chocolate, but more like thick rich melted chocolate with a little milk or cream added.

We left Slovenia and headed back to Slovakia for the night. Sadly, we will be flying out of Vienna the next day but with a few days in Istanbul, Turkey before we head back to Saudi.
