Mojstrana is a small village 10 miles west of Bled, a popular tourist spot with a scenic lake and medieval castle high on a precipice overlooking the lake.
The vacation apartment we rented in Mostrana is on the 2nd (kitchen), 3rd (living room), and 4th (bedroom) floors.

The forecast called for rain all day but the skies
cleared about noon so we drove to Bled.
Views of Lake Bled and Bled Castle.
Hand rowed ferries transport people to various
destinations around the lake and to
an island with a church.

We drove a back road from Bled to Mojstrana.
(much of it unpaved)
Some unexpected finds along the way.
Back in Mojstrana - dinner at a nearby cafe
(one of the few times we have not prepared our own meal).
The food here is both good and about 40%
of the cost for the same dishes in Switzerland.

Schnitzel and Fries - hard to beat when
you are hungry.
(22 Euro for 2 main dishes, 2 salads, apple juice and a Coke)
