Today’s postcard comes to you from a true Christmas wonderland, the Pokljuka Plateau which lies at an altitude of 1100-1400m (3,600-4,600ft) high above the lakes of Bled and Bohinj. Though the ski slopes are currently closed, it is still possible to ski and sledge here, which those lucky enough to be locked down in the are have been doing.
When we first visited, the facilities were completely snowed under:



A few days later, the sun came out, and we were rewarded with these glorious winter scenes:


Slovenia is famous for its spruce trees: every year, one of these majestic Christmas trees is sent to the Vatican as a gift to the Pope.





I have far too many images to include in this blog post, so do check out my Instagram if you want to see more. This will be the last postcard before Christmas, so enjoy the festivities and I’ll be sure to send some new postcards in the new year!

That is just beautiful!
Thanks Vinny: we’re lucky to live here! ❄️
I don’t think there is any better colour than a blue sky in thne winter sun.
Shame about the pope, though. Somebody in his position should set a better example.
beautiful xo
Thanks Nick ❄️
Wow. Let’s hope Santa sticks to that new health regime or he’ll miss all this!
Yes, he’ll be enjoying his salad instead of a mince pie right about now…

Thanks Cindy! I love the snow ⛄️ love the sun too but it doesn’t need to come with the heat. I enjoyed spring in Málaga, summer was too hot 🥵
