On the last day of our trip to Slovenia, we drove to the picturesque Lake Bled. We went up to the castle where we found a middle-ages festival, which the kids thought was great because they had just finished learning about the middle-ages in school.
It was great to see all the actors wearing the old-style clothing, and they had dancing and sword fights. The kids were able to see how the printing press worked, how coins were made, try on some armor, and play old fashioned kid games.
After visiting the castle, which was up on the hill, we went down to swim in the lake and cool off.
The last thing we did in Bled was to ride the sled track. These summer sledding tracks seem to be everywhere in Europe, and this one was pretty cool because the chair lift to the top gave us some really fantastic views of the lake (and some sheep!).
I can't say enough good things about our trip to Slovenia. I am so grateful that our friends invited us to their home and showed us around their beautiful country.
