Having decided to leave bohinj for ljubljana we couldn't resist a final trip to the lake that morning so we de-camped early with the now ritual maypoll dance jem and charlotte like to do whenever a free end of rope becomes available as the tarp is taken down for packing...charlotte decides to bind her naked body up with the rope daddys trying to neatly lap (we do wonder about her sometimes !).
Arriving at the lake around midday we found the carpark full but a 5 minute wait was enough to get a campervan sized space. Heading through the trees to find the cove we used the previous day in use, we went a bit further a found a perfect rocky outcrop sloping into the water, another private, quiet spot on a lovely lake, 3 minutes walk from the carpark ! We spent the afternoon there snorkleing and swimming with even zoe having a cool dip of her legs which she loved. Zoe had her first wobbily stand whilst in bohinj pulling herself up on one of the kids camping chairs letting go with one hand, waving to us all before letting go with the other, standing for a few moments whilst she took in what she was doing then plopped onto her bottom to a cheer from us all!
So we joined the exodus of cars and campers heading back through Bled and onto ljubljana where we spent the next couple of nights at the ljubljana resort camp site (most expensive to date and least value for money at 50 euros a night with 'resort' facilities all extra).
Anyway it had a play ground so the troops were happy and it was only a short bus journey into the city the next day. Ljubljana although quite a pretty city with its 'unique' triple bridge, market, few art deco buildings scattered amongst the lovely painted older buildings, it is already fading in our minds. The castle was the least interesting one that we've seen due to it either being over restored or under derelict - not sure which. Infact the highlight was undoubtedly walking back down from the castle when ant commented to charlotte that she was walking like a duck and zoe immediately started quacking... Her first words ;-). We left the following morning for venice dodging the tolls with our day expired vignette pass - had we really spent over a week in slovenia?
