When all the 5 girls woke up from their sleepover, we headed over to the beach for breakfast. It was beautiful first thing in the morning, very few people and freshly raked sand.
We decided to spend a few final hours at the beach before the drive.
After a final ice cream and a fond farewell to the Pindorias we headed out of Italy. The van started no problem after its 10 day rest in Ca'Savio.
After a quick stop to buy a vignette for the toll roads (or rather vijneta as they say in Slovenian), we crossed the border into Slovenia.
Our route took us through the capital Ljubljana. No time to stop unfortunately, but it looks an interesting city - a mix of Western and Eastern European architecture, with wide tree lined streets, large squares and bridges.
We arrived at Lake Bled half an hour later, passing through large areas of rolling tree lined hills, completely uninhabited as far as you could see. With the towering Austrian Alps on the right as we left the motorway, the road headed down into the valley and we caught our first views of the lake with its picturesque island and castle overlooking from a cliff.
Just time for a fabulous heaped platter of grilled meat for dinner and C to show her skill with a bow and arrow, killing 1 wolf, a pig and 2 eagles.
Not real animals I hope.
