Last night, met three Kiwis and an Aussie in the pub below the hostel - Logan, Toni, Janet and Hamish. Ended up having dinner together - I got "turkey Ljubljana style," which turned out to be a turkey cordon-bleu.
Today, Janet and I went for a hike out to Vintgar Gorge. Passed through lovely countryside and a couple of villages between Bled and the start of the gorge, and spotted Slovenia's highest mountain, already capped with snow.
The gorge itself was spectacularly beautiful, with a wooden walkway clinging to the rocky walls of the gorge, zigzagging over the rapids below. The river water was amazingly clear, and we took great delight in watching fish swim below us.
The return walk to Bled took us over a steep hill through a forest, gave us some lovely views of the area before leading back to Bled. Probably the nicest three hours I've ever spent walking.
Now back in Ljubljana, at the uber-hostel Celica again, before hopping up to Vienna tomorrow.
