Bled is a small town by a glacial turquoise green lake. The lake has a tiny island in the middle big enough only for a church, and a castle on a cliff overlooking the lake - its not hard to see why Lonely Planet describes Bled as being created by some god of tourism. It has to be one of the most picturesque places we have been yet.
But it gets better, our campground is in a gully at the far edge of the lake, surrounded by huge cliffs and full of leafy green trees - nearly as picturesque as the lake itself. We visited Bled Castle, hired kayaks and went round the lake (and the island in the middle of the lake), and spent a good hour trawling the town for its famous Kremsnita or "Cream Cake" (which although delicious, was really just a custard square with a cream layer instead of icing).
