Slovenia, the Lakes and Swiss chocolate

Hello from rainy Switzerland. As always - busy! But the last 3 days we have been chilling out at my cousins house in Switzerland which has been bliss! Fresh air, a HOUSE, babies, rain, sun and a private toilet.
Slovenia was so beautiful! We really enjoyed our time there. After lake Bled we went to lake Bohinj for a night then to the coast. Piran is beautiful! A stop off at the deepest underground gorge in Europe (in Slovenia) - lots of stalactites and stalagmites! Onto Como via - Venice, Verona and Milano, for a few nights before driving through the spectacular alps to Switzerland. We plan on spending a few more nights in this country before moving on to Germany. On top of Mont Tendre with Mont Blanc in the background

wow, you're sure seeing it all! We also loved Slovenia, and wasn't that cave so cool when you come into the huge open area with the river below? felt kindof unreal. (assuming it's the same cave) We also stopped in Piran, cute town! You are seeing so many amazing cities and sites. Are you going to every country in Europe? This will be one amazing photo album, a trip of a lifetime!
