The first day that we arrived in Slovenija we went to discover bled. I am a great fan of reptiles, insects and fossils so when I saw the Flyer about a animal exhibition I was thrilled to come take a look. The owners are really nice, she gave little tour and then set us free to roam around ourselves. The other person there even helped us think a tortoise and let us see it up close. In part 2 of the exhibition you can actually hold some of the animals. We had the pleasure to hold a teenage gecko which was such an unreal little creature who felt so save to come sit and walk on us. We also had the pleasure to cuddle with a really soft fluffy hamster, almost made me want to buy one myself. If you are in bled, you must really go. And don't forget to donate because that's how they fund Al of this...

One of the chameleons has clearly visible mouth...
