Would be great to hear from anyone else booked on this trip perhaps with a view to exchanging ideas before we go and maybe meeting up for coffee/ brunch at Gatwick?

I intend to travel down on the morning from the Midlands as the flight is at a good time.

Hope to hear from you.

D 🙂

I can answer a few of these questions for you... At the moment there are 18 travellers booked on this date- 3 men and 15 women with ages from late-30s through to early-80s.

In terms of flights - these are listed as from Gatwick, provisional departure time is 13:10hrs. The return flight is due to land back in Gatwick at 22:30hrs. However, I must provide the usual disclaimer that flights are subject to change and information would be confirmed in your final documents.

Kindest regards,

Julia

That is a shame - I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, wherever you choose to spend it.

Kindest regards,

Julia

Hope I'm not a solo traveller Julia! Aaagh!

Knock knock...Is there anybody there....? :s

I can confirm that you are not the only traveller - there are 18 of you travelling to Slovenia on this festive break.

I hope you have a wonderful trip!

Kindest regards,

Julia

As I have posted elsewhere, I went on this trip last Christmas and had a marvellous time. Three tips:

If not already done, paying extra for lake view is very worthwhile - castle and lakeside are lit up at night

On included trip to island, be sure to try the drinking chocolate - like no other - marvellous!

Do try Bled cake as often as possible, your diets can wait.

Also, if you like chocolate,, there is a shop between the hotel and lake which sells salted chocolate. Sounds horrible, but is rather more-ish.

Have a great holiday.

Thank you for the tips David - I have booked a lake view room - sounds gorgeous. I shall certainly be in the market for the treats you mention too.

May I ask another question please...Not a massive worry but I've read somewhere on here about the lack of / quality of bath towels. Can I ask whether you found the same? Should I take a couple?

Only 5 more days to go :thumbup:

I wouldn't worry about towels - can't remember what they were like but I didn't complain last year so I should think they were ok! You can always ask for more - I always do as I have long hair and like to wrap it up in a turban! You could also ask about a towelling robe at reception - last year it cost 5 Euro for the whole holiday. Useful for going to the pool too. (Pool towels provided)

Have a great time! 🙂

Hello,

Hi David

I just hope my upcoming trip to Italy and Croatia at least equals Lake Bled! It was a great introduction to Christmas holidays away from home, the setting was amazing and of course the company was great!

Have a wonderful time in Iceland - wrap up warm! :rolleyes:

Best wishes for Christmas & New Year, and happy holidays for 2015!
