Slovenia

On Monday (I think) Braedon did his judging course - he is now an E-level freediving judge! I went on an excursion to see most of Slovenia. We took a bus from Maribor across to Lake Bled, then down to Postojna caves and back to Maribor. At lake Bled we went to the castle on the cliff overlooking the lake. The cliff was so steep that they had toilets on the second floor that dropped into the bush below (about 150m) - you could see the light and trees out through them. We also took a boat ride out to the church on the island in the middle of the lake. It was all very picturesque. We then went down to the Postojana caves which are 27km long. You take a train in and out and walk about 1.7km inside. It was only 10 degrees Celcius inside. It was quite cool - the stalagmites and stalagtites were all sizes and colours. My fan club (Patti) arrived on Wednesday so I have someone to get excited and yell for NZ.
