We came to Bled yesterday, separately. I went down to Postojna first. Charles came directly from Ljubljana. This morning. I woke up at dawn, so I went for a walk around the lake. I always try for at least one dawn per trip. It has taken me a month! I love how quiet it is, and the changing light.
Just me and the swans.
There is a castle (of course) on a hill overlooking the lake.
Charles and I went up this morning.
There is a nice view down to the lake.
It has a nice little chapel.
With frescoes from 1700.
On my way back to the hostel, I stopped at the Supermarket. It looks nothing like Loblaws.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I am thinking of going to Bled this summer, and I am looking for advice about the best way of getting there (train, bus, or something else).
Better to come by bus. The train station is in Lesce, the next village, about 4 km from Bled. The bus stops right in the village of Bled. We came by bus from Ljubljana, there are several a day.
