Welcome to real life Disneyland, aka Lake Bled here
in Slovenia. This is the number 1 place to visit in
Slovenia because of this amazing beautiful church
on an island in the middle of a lake. It is hands down
on of the most beautiful and favorite places I have
ever been. I have been before, I actually went in the
summer time. But, it is so different right now in the
winter. I think its slightly more beautiful cause the
water is so calm and everything is so reflective and
the mountains, oh my goodness, see those mountains
If you ever want to feel like a real life princess
come to Lake Bled because....
...castles...there is a castle there, and there, churches.
lakes, yea...
What more could you ask for, what more could you want
I am making a wish
Currently, hiking up to see an awesome viewpoint
of the lake and the castle
Boat is getting ready, and then we are taking it to the
island. No more looking at the island, we are going to
boat to the island. Church is Holy Mary of Assumption
We are on the island, and it is beautiful
We are actually going to go into the church that we
have been staring at all day.
Making a wish. Its a secret.
Everyone hates you outside now. Its loud.
We are on top of the Bledski grad, the Bled Castle.
The view. This is awesome. We've had lots of awesome
views today. We are going to check out this castle. It is
the oldest castle in Slovenia. It is over 1000 years old
It is very, very old. And they are somer really cool things
inside, so let's go check it out.
It's like a museum.
In that time they put the ink with the medieval plate
They used a roller
Side note: upper and lower case.
This is where the words originated from
Literally, the casing of the letters
on the top verses the bottom.
That's a cool little fact that I learned today
in Slovenia. Thank you.
The restaurant we are going to is a farm to table
restaurant, meaning that the grow everything on the
farm. This village is really cool and unique. It is
the windiest place in Slovenia, so winds get up to
240 km per hour. That is nuts, and you can tell
Where is the cat?
Kitty.
Welcome to Goče, a very unique village in Slovenia
its a very old village. In the 11th century the first people
lived here. It is tradition to produce wine here
Long tradition to produce wine here in this village
This wine cellar is around 700 years old
That is right from the barrel
Its delicious
It's good, it's good.
I prepared for you cheese, I put 10 herbs, olive oil
pancetta.
Sour turnip, beans, grapes and potatoes and cabbage
This dressing is amazing
Apple strudel to top it all off.
And I am ready for bed.
Alright, we are packing and leaving
Here it has been super, super nice
We are going to go. We are packing all into the van.
We are going to go and explore Lake Bohinj.
There isn't a place called Bohinj, because Bohinj is the
whole valley. Approximately 20 km long and it starts
somewhere here and ends over here if you can imagine
The valley itself was created approximately
14 thousand years ago. Don't quote me for exact date.
There are mountains, Julian Alps to be more precise
which are part of the alps which are the largest
European mountain range. This is where the alps begin
or end depending which side you look on
Special point is the highest mountain. Triglav.
We have it on our coat of arms and flag
Also, Triglav was climbed for the very first time from
this valley.
It is a beautiful winter wonderland day
Look at all this snow. It looks amazing.
We are at Lake Bohinj. It is the big brother lake to
Lake Bled. The are kind of sibling lakes
This is absolutely stunning
we just got a fresh snow fall. It is the first time
in like 10 years that the lake has frozen over
So you can see, literally the lake all covered in like a
slushy snow. So what's really cool about Lake Bohinj
is actually the active big brother lake to Lake Bled, so
this is where all the outdoor enthusiasts come to,
because you can go skiing, hiking, mountaineering,
you can do a whole ton of stuff because right behind
is, covered in the misty fog, is the Triglav mountain
range, the highest mountain range in Slovernia
including the highest mountain in Slovenia which is
Triglav which is over 2,800 meter high.
Its a pretty cool lake.
Also, this church is the oldest church in Slovenia
its also, in my opinion one of the prettiest right now
because, hello, snowy winteriness. Yes.
The priests could see the devils, but the people going
to the service could not.
Is this all original? This is all original. There is some
pretty cool, unexplained stuff here.
We are currently in the oldest church here in Slovenia.
It is over one thousand years old which is nuts.
Road tripping time
We are headed out to Italy.
Oh, this is looking nasty.
So we should buy chains, but I think we should go
a different way.
Its stuck. You are stuck.
Back
Keep going
Okay, back down the mountain
It's 3:19 in the morning
And we finally got to our place here in Italy
We left Slovenia and it was a treacherous drive
with many stops, and lots of snow
and do all that stuff that you do at night
Where is this vlog going? Where? We're tired.
There is chocolate on my bed.
Chocolate on our bed.
Also, we have to cross a hallway to go to the washroom.
You are just saying anything...I am vlogging.
This is m life.
