Day off by Lake Bled

Spent two restful days camped by Lake Bled. Hiked up Vintgar gorge on a suspended wooden gangway that criss crossed the crystal clear water below. Also swam in Lake Bled, needing no more encouragement than a break in the clouds. Yet again we were treated to a nocturnal visitor. Awoke to the rustling of a hedgehog helping itself to Callie's favourite plum jam filled chocolate coated biscuits, which it apparently found irresistible too. It kept it's head buried in the packet even when we shone the torch on it. We weren't sure if it was stuck, or if it thought it was hiding from us, or if it was enjoying the snack too much to be disturbed.

Only 7 miles short of your 2,000 miles today... well done you 2. GPS puts you going back towards the Austrian border though - very interesting scenic route... Croatia is south of you according to my map, but you are at least enjoying the wonderful scenery and countryside in good weather sounds like proper fun. We look forward to your next instalment of the tent at night wildlife show.
