7/23/26 Piran Slovenia

Bled lake of Slovenia

We finally decided to join an excursion with the ship and that’s based on Ana’s  (the destination expert) recommendation to visit Lake Bled that is 2 hours away…

As soon as we arrived in Piran (the port where we anchor) , we felt the much comfortable temperature of around 25c… The scenery on the way is beautiful and green and relaxing…. Slovenia is a wonderful place.

We need to get on a wooden boat..
And this strong man boat drower make sure both sides weight were distributed evenly and then row us to the center island…. He parked the boat expertly and effortlessly
Our beautiful guide Anamaria
Behind her were lotus flowers

After two hours when we arrived at the lake

Bled lake has an incredible turquoise blue color… And we can see Alps at the background

In the middle of the lake theres a small island with a chapel and bell tower

The famous bled cream cake was really delicious

They took us to a lake side restaurant for lunch

Saying goodbye to our guide Anamaria

Meanwhile back in Piran port ….

Quick tour of Piran :

Tartini Square
Tartini Square is to honor a famous Slovenia born (previously Republic of Venice… Yes, Slovenia previously belongs to Venice and  Venice doesn’t belong to Italy…. Europe’s history is super complicated) Violinist Giuseppe Tartini
Crew saying farewell and singing I’m sailing
Last sail away with the sails unfurling and after they played Vagelis 1492, they played time to say goodbye

This concluded a huge, multi stages trip that takes us to corners of the world we never been to…now back to home to recharge and then seek the next venture!!
