I hope you learn how to love yourself the way you love others. - unconditionally and without hesitation. - [unknown quote]Tonight... from a train which rides from Ljubljana to Vienna with a lovely story to share...
This morning I was on a mini van with the guide (Tine) and a Russian couple living in Norway.
(voice-over: Russians and Norway OMG!!!)
During the trip to the Predjama Castle, I have lernt two things:
1. That Tine (my guide's name) in Norway is a milk brand
2. That several Slovenian words related to the world of cars come from German, that means that I can speak Slovenian as well ;)
But... let's talk about what I wanted to tell you... that is
[drumroll]
[drumroll]
[drumroll]
... the Legend of Erazem Prediamski AKA a toiltet story...
Let's start from the beginning...
Once upon a time Slovenia used to have its own Robin Hood, the Knight Erazem - the robber baron.
Everything was almost fine until Erazem killed the kinsman of the Holy Roman Emperor, Frederik III. ------> NOT GOOD
Frederik was so furious that he forced the baron into hiding in his castle.
But Erazem was too clever. He managed to survive thanks to a secret passage between the Castle and the nearby Postojna Cave. For an entire year + 1, the baron smuggled food and drink through the tunnel till one of his soldiers betrayed him.
Since the weakest part of the castle was the outhouse on a high floor of the outside façade, they decided to attack him once there. And that was the place where the toilet was (the hole you see on the top left of the picture here).Guess what happened... yeah.... it's exactly what you think...
The servant raised a flag and a cannon shot blasted the baron off the toilet.
Might be a legend, might be the truth... but it made me smile, thanks Tine!
