As I'm getting further into my trip I seem to be writing less often. I figured that's how it would go.... But I'll try to recap the past two days as best I can without any pictures. (computer is still kaputt).

Yesterday Kaylee and I went up to see the view of Lake Bled from Bled Castle and it was gorgeous. Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj are some of theist beautiful lakes I've ever seen. Just absolutely stunning. (yet another place where pictures would be lovely)

After we went to the castle we went canyoning!! It was so so so much fun! Canyoning is basically what is sounds like, you climb up a side of a mountain and then go down through the canyon. You go down by either repelling down the face of a rock or just jumping from the rock into the water below. Our guide's name was Joseph and he was very good and knew exactly what he was doing (don't worry mom, we made it out alive). It's hard to describe it more than that, other than the jumps range from 1 meter to 10 meters high. We bought waterproof disposable cameras (who knew those still existed?!) so hopefully we got some good pictures!

Once we got back to our hostel we showered and made dinner. While eating dinner in the kitchen a group of four guys and two girls invite us to play cards and drink shitty wine with them. So we did and it was lots of fun. Two of the guys and the two girls are from England and the other two are from New Zealand.

This morning we went down to the lake with the Brits and Kiwis.  We made the bold decision to swim out to the island that has the church on it. Now, it may look close, but don't let that fool you, it's probably about 600m away at least, of not further. And I haven't swam in years so it was a bit of a struggle. But we made it there and say around for a while then swam back. After we finished swimming we all walked back to the hostel. Kaylee and I had to get a bus back to Ljubljana in order to get a train to Zagreb. So we said goodbye and headed out to the bus station. We get to the train station in Ljubljana and we wait for the train to Zagreb. When it arrives we hop on the train and who do we find? None other than the Brits and the Kiwis! We sit with them (good thing too, they have an iPad and we watched blood diamond. Our train from Budapest to Ljubljana  would have been mich more enjoyable with them!!). When we get to Zagreb we say goodbye again. However, theyogjy be in Dubrovnik next week, so who knows, we may run into them again!!
