A new Swan

This beautiful Swarovski swan has become a new addition to my swan collection. Thanks to Luciano and Monica from Italy. Grazie mille!

A penny for your thoughts!

Anže and I went on a boat to take some photos of the hotel, since it looked so beautiful in the evening sun. Incidentally this photo was taken and I keep wondering what was I thinking of at the time.

Maybe something like:

» Did I remember to sign the electricity bill for the hotel for last month? ”

Or

“I wonder where I have left my hotel master-key. It must be somewhere in the hotel.”

Or maybe it was something really trivial:

“ The hotel looks beautiful yes, but will we reach the targeted occupancy rate this year?”

Or something very important:

“I know Anže can row, but what if the boat is leaking and we will have to swim back?”

If you have any ideas of your own let me know and I will publish it!

The Swans

The swans are nowadays an important part of Bled landscape. Here is a photo of my small swan collection from around Europe. One is from Italy, the other one from Holland and the third one from UK. It should be easy for you to guess which one is from which country, especially if I give you a little hint: Island of Murano, Venice, Italy. They were given to me by special guests, without knowing for other swans. Therefore this is an unintentional collection and yet very dear to me.
