Cold in Bled,Slovenia

Kay, so we didn´t actually take this picture, cause it doesn´t actually look like this right now. What it actually looks like is this, which is not bad at all, but different. We are in Bled, Slovenia right now.Yesterday was a bit of a recovery day, we enjoyed the fact that we are on vacation and do not have to be doing something at all moments. After our rest we made it down to the lake and walked around in the rain (which never did stop all day). We wandered around a bit and Shellie got cranky in the rain, so we decided to go to some mineral hot springs at a ritzy hotel in town. This was soooo much fun! They had multiple pools, one with seats and bubbles! There was also a super fun slide that connected the pools. Here is a picture of Matt going down the slide.

We must have gone down that slide 20 times while we were there, it was great! We went to a Pizzeria for dinner and the menu was a huge variety of pizzas and of course, omelettes-um, weird! So Matt got a pizza and I got a ham and cheese omelette, which was good, cause I was craving eggs, you just never know where you will get them I guess. Today we were awoken to a cat screaming outside on our balcony, it was absolutely marvelous! Here is a picture of him...After that delightful awakening, we walked into town and took a bus to Bohinj, which is apparently a bit higher in elevation and super duper cold! Cherie, I forgot to grab leggings, HUGE mistake! I will be finding some very soon. The mountains are marvelous here that is for sure. The lake was gorgeous, but we enjoyed it, had some lunch and then went back to Bled. It is so cold that we decided just to walk back to our hotel to get re-energized and warm.
This is me looking like a total goon with a baby belly. No Janelle, no one has tried to rub my belly yet, thank goodness! It has been pretty well concealed by my many layers, so the temptation has not been there:) The town in the background is Bled, we are on our way back to the hotel via this scenic road. We are just going to hang out for a bit till dinner now. We leave tomorrow for Innsbruck, going deeper into the Alps. We are in the Julienne Alps right now by the way. Ciao

Aaarrgh! I made a really witty, funny post, then it got deleted...anyway, the slide pic is epic and Tim will be jealous :) Also, the cat needs to be thrown off the balcony! Do European cats land on their feet???

We'll pray for interesting people, and I am praying, Shellie, than you won't be cold the whole time, b/c that's no bueno!
