Going To Bled

I have felt so run down on this trip, I spent a good deal of my time in bed. Even though I was so tired, I decided to go to Bled.
Bled, a not to miss site an hour from Ljubljana—is a beyond scenic island in the middle of an Alpine lake. The must-do touristy thing is to walk the 99 steps up to the medieval chapel. Grooms have been carrying their brides up these steps as a centuries old ritual.
The only way to cross the lake is on an unsteady Pletna home-built boat that is rowed by a skilled oarsman.
After visiting the island and a row back to the mainland, we headed for the Castle, which is now a museum and has a restaurant with a drop dead view.
