Reminded me of home.
Our last morning in Bled we didn’t have much on the schedule. We had hoped to venture further into the Julian Alps but the bus schedule didn’t work for us. We had met some fellow travelers at breakfast who mentioned they were heading to Vintgar Gorge. It sounded like a good alternative activity.
Vintgar Gorge is about 4 kilometers from Bled and is a nice and easy hike. The trail is 1.6 kilometers each way through a narrow passage. For a good portion of the walk you are actually walking on wooden bridges built onto the sides of the gorge.
The trail ends at a pretty but unimpressive waterfall. Walking through the gorge definitely reminded me of the greenery back home. If only people cut out little hearts in their shutters in the States.
We walked back to town via a road pointed out to us by our taxi driver. Walking was Mike’s decision and I’m so glad I went along with it. We passed through sleepy little communities that made me wish I had a little house to warm myself.
When we arrived back in Bled the Rowing World Championships were underway and I was finally reunited with my long-lost-black-and-white-stripes-wearing family. It felt good to belong.
