We took a water taxi to Lake Bled Island; this is the landing dock. There is quite an interesting story about these boats, called "pletnas". When the church was first built on the island, people would come from all over to attend services at the church creating quite a bit of chaos with boat traffic. The Lord of the Land decreed that only twelve families would have the right to operate water taxis, and to this day, only descendants of the original twelve familes can operate these taxis. Another interesting note: when couples marry at the church, the groom must carry his bride up these stairs...without stopping!

I love the charming rules and traditions this place carries and keeps. Wonderful. Like a fairly tale.
(Guess the women have to really watch their weight until after they get married! HA! That poor GROOM otherwise!)
