There are three ways to get over to Bled Island. First you can rent a row boat and row your self over. Second you can pile into a bigger rowboat and a boatman rows you over. Lastly you can hop on an electric boat and putt putt on over. We took the 2 PM cruise over there. We arrived at 2:15 and he would bring us back at 3:15. Since we had just come from our spa treatments we were more than happy to sit on a bench in the sun and soak in all of our surroundings.
Our Electric Boatman
A fine craft
The oar driven larger boat got a 15 minute head start and we beat him there!
Perhaps I could drive us over
Go that way!
Under way with a light breeze
There is the rowing boat ahead
A new angle on Castle Bled
This guy was trying to ride a powered surfboard, splash!
A nice climb up to the church
Fun with oars!
Tower of love
Lots of leaves fell on us while we were there. That is how you can gauge how long you have been sitting
The painting on the edges was super
We sat on a bench, in the sun, and enjoyed a drink while this bird got its afternoon snack
If you climb the tower you get to ring the bells
Sun in our eyes!
The water is super clear, the right side is 6 feet deep at least
Lots to see here. Some sort of Osage Orange type of fruit, an unidentified ping pong type ball, a ring of caps from a cap gun, a stick or two and of course lots of leaves
Smoochy time, lets get back to the Hotel!
Leaves falling onto the water had bunched up
The boat is beautiful
Through the windows of the boat
Peeking out of the trees
Time well spent
Swimmers off of the port bow!
A little glare in this shot
Headed back!
