Slovenia Day 1: Radovjlica

We arrived at Lake Bled about 6PM. This is the view from our room at dusk, but can't wait to see it tomorrow! Hopefully, the sun says hello when we go exploring.

We did the optional dinner at Radovjlica, a town preserved from the Middle Ages. We learned about honey bread (similar to gingerbread texture), used for decorations, primarily. They are traditionally heart shaped because they were wedding presents given to the bride by the groom.

Here's a great blog about it: http://www.nina-travels.com/ginger-bread-museum-radovljica-slovenia/

We had a HUGE dinner of mushroom soup in a bread bowl, salad, roast beef stuffed with plum preserves, sausage, potatoes, sauerkraut, picked radish, and three deserts (crème cake on steroids, apple strudl, and chocolate cookie crumbled with cheese and liquor and formed into balls).  We were stuffed full and slept at soon as we got back to the hotel.
