Day 19 - Lake Bled (we are posh?)

Ok woke up 6:30 and caught our train at 7:30 after having a breakfast of coffee hot chocolate and croissants. First train was on time, second train was ten minutes late which made us a bit worried about our change to the third train which we had 10 minutes to do. The second train ended up arriving 5 minutes late and our next train was on the other side of the platform. (So lucky). Mummy did very well speaking German to the man next to us to find out info about the train. Third train was a bit late but we arrived in Lake Bled Slovenia at about 2 o'clock. We caught a very cheap and easy taxi to our youth hostel instead of a bus which rid us of a lot of stress! Once we arrived at the hostel we payed and found out we had room 8 but they were still cleaning it so we dumped our big packs under a table (with the lady's permission). We headed off to the lake. The lake water is amazingly clear and very beautiful we walked around to a boat hire stop where we hired a row boat and rowed our way out to and around a little Island in the middle of the lake. It was very pleasant and everyone had a row. After we finish mum and dads romantic row (I was just third wheeling) we made our way around the lake (again) to the poshest restaurant in the lake and sat a meter away from the lake drinking our beers and oringina (for me). After this we went further away from the lake (another 3 meters) and had a dinner of gnocchi  with tomatoes Parmesan and parsley, gnocchi with prosciutto and rocket and octapus an zucchini risotto. All the meals were much liked by there recipient. I have no idea how we afforded the food but it was still fantastic. That's about it for today. The hostel is ok so far, the room is good but the shower is... Well.... Interesting :P

Later hosen (even if we're not in Austria)
