End Of School Trip - Part One

The children got their school reports last Thursday. Well, our little girl got her ballet class certificate, she starts school in September... Friday was national holiday, and on Saturday we embarked on a trip - three sets of parents plus a bunch of kiddies... Bliss!

We decided to head up north, to one of the most beautiful, most visited and best-known parts of the country - the town of Bled. Before that we stopped at Brezje, at Slovenian national shrine, to express our gratitude for our families and for the successful end of the schoo year. The day was absolutely gorgeous, with sun shining all the time and yet the temperatures were just right for walking around.


We took a stroll through a beautiful gorge called Blejski vintgar, with ancient bridges and breath-taking waterfalls.

We enjoyed the fresh air and welcomed cool drops of water on our face...

Our first stop in Bled was the parish church of St Martin's...

... with precios stained-glass windows...

... beautiful wall paintings...

... and magnificent organ...

  2. Hi, thank you! It's actually not a heart, it's a pigeon - the image of the Holy Spirit!
