Old world charm, with a slow paced progress, Slovenia is safely nestled between the biggies of Europe, enjoying a strategic location in the European continent (once a part of former Yugoslavia).<\/p>

Couldn\u2019t wait to see this little \u201cwonder package\u201d steeped in history, keeping its ethnographic features intact!<\/p>

Lake Bled is the epitome of natural beauty with its glacial emerald green waters that beckon you to gape endlessly, mesmerizing you. Surrounded by the snow dusted Julian Alps, a tiny island in the center and a 1000 years old castle perched on a nearby cliff completes the setting of a postcard.<\/p>

What more could one want whilst eating the famous scrumptious, \u201cKremsnita\u201d (Bled Cream Cake) beside the lake at one of the cute lakeside cafes?<\/p>

\"\"
Triglav National Park, Slovenia<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>

Well, bled isn\u2019t complete without a hike in the Triglav national park \u2014 \u201cSlovenians pride\u201d. As the tradition goes, you wouldn\u2019t be called a true Slovenian if you haven\u2019t climbed the Mt. Triglav! (I wouldn\u2019t dare, never mind being called a Slovenian at that!)<\/em><\/p>

A drive through the park which houses the <\/strong>serene Lake Bohinj <\/strong>is worth a photo stop <\/strong>(Time stands still here, and so does the lake)<\/figcaption><\/figure>

Just as nearby is Vogel Ski Resort <\/strong>accessible by a glass bubble cable car which deports you to a sight of skiers in full throttle.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>
\"\"
Satiating my thirst with Laska and Union their local beers, and my hunger at Gosti\u0161\u010de<\/strong> Erlah<\/strong> (Cafe De Degustation) on my way back to lake Bled, I rejoiced in my day well spent.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n
\"\"
Ljubljana, Slovenia<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Waving a goodbye to bled and welcoming myself to the eclectic town of Ljubljana, designed by the local architect Jose plecnik, I take a walking tour in Stare Mesto <\/strong>(old town).<\/p>

Being a car free zone, I pass through a treasure trove of varied architecture<\/p>

(Ljubljana castle, dragon bridge, triple bridge etc.) ending the glorious history lesson with their vintage white of the region, Goriska Brda.<\/p>

\"\"
Postonja Caves, Slovenia<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>

In around Ljubljana there is plenty to see, one being the Karst region famed for its 2 million cave system, the Postonja caves, which leave you spellbound!<\/p>

A fairy tale land created by various natural art forms of limestone stalactites and stalagmites taking you through a maze of passageways, crevices and caverns.<\/p>

\"\"
Beyond the Postonja is a unique castle, the Predjama castle<\/strong>, that tells a story of a robber baron, who used this as his safe house for years!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n
\"\"
Piran, Slovenia<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>

So now my want of seaside zeal hook me to Slovenia\u2019s Adriatic coastline, where a tiny medieval village of Piran lies, with its charming seaside cafes and sun kissed rocky beaches.<\/p>

With the unending deep blue of the Adriatic bringing in a breeze of fresh air.<\/p>

Sadly though, enriched with a heavy heart I bid adieu to this pretty bundle of joy.<\/p>
