Caves and Bled

This cave was huge, it took an hour and a half to walk through and has a huge river that carved the largest under ground canyon in Europe into the cave. We weren't supposed to take photos, and many didn't really come out, but it was incredible. Spelunking is definitely something I'd like to pick up.

Stalactites are on the top, stalagmites are on the bottom.

After the caves, we drove north of Ljubljana to the Alpine lake town of Bled. Once again, beautiful water.

Bled, like all other cities in Europe, had a castle. It was not special. But it had a nice view of the town.

The castle tower, just to prove how unremarkable it was. Every castle in Europe looks like this (at least in Eastern Europe).

We got into the Castle with a German tour group so we didn't have to pay, then followed them to some strange Slovenian festival. They wore costumes, did stupid medieval dances, and roasted a pig. I think Europe has some of the lamest heritage there is.
