Wow what a difference a day makes the sun is shining and the rain has finally ended. The mountains sourround the beautiful lake in the town of Bled, Slovenia. The hotel we stayed at was Vila Presien which is named after the famous poet who wrote the national anthem for Slovenia. Presien's pictures are everywhere he truly is an icon in this country.

After I had a very nice massage at a nearby wellness center we loaded up the car to head to Rovinji which is located along the coast of Croatia in the Istria area (northwest part of the country next to Italy) The drive was a long drive but with the help of the navigational team , Greg on a map, Teresa on a different map and I ran Gerti(GPS). With all of this help we only managed to get lost 4 times or more.

• Upon arriving at Rovinji we boarded a very large passenger boat to get us to our Hotel Itra located on an island which took about 15 minutes. After having a big lunch we opted for bologna sandwiches for dinner. Greg and I particpated in some silly stage show and won tickets to some fancy pool within the hotel called the zen spa. Bob and Teresa opted out of our fun and enjoyed some wine in the quiet lounge. As fancy as a hotel that this was I wasn not able to get interent to work.
