Slovenia is on the Med but Bled itself is in a mountainous area, so the weather can be a little tricky. Average max temperatures in July are in the high 20s, so nice and warm, but the overnight min will be around 13-15 degrees so it is probably worth bringing something light to wear in the evening, especially if you are used to a warmer climate or feel the cold.

Lake Bled itself is a small bit of water and warms up to a lovely 25degrees in Summer which is perfect for a swim. I certainly recommend you throw a pair of togs in the suitcase in case you are tempted to cool off.

Finally, they started building Bled Castle in 1004 and and the Island Church was build in the 1400s. By comparison, the Stiletto Heel made its first appearance in the 1950s… draw your own conclusions. Now, I know that I will probably not be able to dissuade all you ladies from wearing high heels, but please keep in mind that our wedding day will involve cobblestones, limestone steps and a couple of boat rides. So, perhaps leave the 5inch Jimmy Choos at home and bring the wedges or sandles instead hey? The gladiator sandle is very summer 2009 anyway…
