Slovenia in photos
(click to enlarge)


Prešeren Square, Ljubljana




Panoramic views of Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj, West of Ljubljana








Tromostovje Bridge (the "Triple" bridge), Ljubljana





Rain, rain and more rain in Ljubjana on the third day. While I dont mind rain, the unfortunate thing was the poor visibility hence the hazy photos. The last two photos were taken as a trekked up a long steep path to the castle tower. It was so difficult because I keep slipping and sliding on the snow. I was wondering how in the world I would get back down...like slide on my butt? No, I realized there was a car route. doh!


Notice the middle photo taken in a butcher. Well, I brought two weiners (one for Jaime and one of me...haha). That is all I bought from Slovenia...sausages. You know those tourist shirts that say: My friend went to blah blah blah...and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. Well, this one would say, My friend went to Slovenia and all I got was a weiner. haha.

This is what greeted me when I stepped off the bus in Bled town (if there is such thing...basically the town nearest the lake). The weather was also perfect: blue skies with wisps of clouds

Notice the first photo, on the left. I sneaked into this hotel that was situated literally right in front of the lake. It had the most amazing view of Lake Bled.

Wearing sneakers and walking on snow is not the smartest thing to do. I wandered off track (see middle photo) and found myself trudging on deep snow for a while..but it was cool. There were no other tourists around. Very quiet and still. Just standing before Lake Bohinj was probably the most serene surrouding I have been.

---xx-----xx-----xx----xx----Cambridge----xx----xx----xx----


Cambridge by night: Jaime, Dan, Edel, Jenny (two of Jaime housemates), Indian Tonic Water (how cool is that? haha), delicious chinese food

Kings College, University of Cambridge (how beautiful is it?)

Cambridge market place, biking into town (was probably one of the highlights), lots of mouth-watering treats, we also tried Ostrich burger!! (not bad, I prefer my mince though)

Picturesque Cambridge; photos like this remind me there are so much places in England to visit. I need to spend time exploring this island, instead of jetting off most of the time
