Whens a sausage not a sausage?
We had planned to go to the caves at posteja set our alarms for 9. We didnt get up, i snoozed my phone for a bit and copey did too, turns out we were hoping the other person would drag us out of bed, but because no one did we stayed in until 12. By the time we went out it was lunch time so we wandered to the main square and down the river, we found a bakery and got some breakfast, mine was a type of pastry with cheese and ham and copeys was a pizza with a hotdog through it.
I walked past a load of shops and saw some t-shirts with dragons on, max loves dragons so bought him one, which i will be sending back with the slovenian post service, which will hopefully be better than the italian one. As we had wasted the morning and after seeing the centre of town we decided that it was best to stay a few more nights as this place had charm, it was relaxing and the beer was cheap!
In the afternoon we walked round the town found a bar where the beer was €1.70 a pint near the university, one to remember. We then got back to the river and sat outside at a bar called corso. I munched on a cheese and ham toastie while we downed a load of unions, we tried experimenting with the local beer, by mistake we had ordered a rutler thinking it was a normal beer. Oh no it was shandy? 2.5% shandy, oh well we drank it and then got onto the laskys. I feed the birds with my crumbs and they where brave things, getting closer right near my arm, i got a snap with my camera too.
We decided to get some washing done since we were staying there for a few more days so we went to a €1 shop and bought a dodgy bag of powder and washed our clothes in it. Copey wasnt expecting much and was after percil, hey any smells better than the smell of egyption old clothes. After we had done our laundry, we headed out to a restaurant called gostilna sestica, we spotted they did steak ljubljana style cheap so thought we would give it a go. The waiter was well enthusiastic and he was recommending everything, he told us to get the selection of slovenian sausages for starter, we did, it came out and it was a few tiny sausages and a load of ham? Hmmm, it got better copey ordered the steak, i went for the lambsteak mine was ok, copeys on the other hand was only what i can describe as a spam fritter breaded with another selection of meat. The food was good though and the waiter made the night entertaining with the bunch of swinging 60's english group over the way. When we left we got a shot each of something, it was gorgeous, have to find out what it was. But never trust a menu in slovenia, whens a sausage not a sausage... When its a piece of bloody ham!
Copeys quote of the day:
" dont bother snoozing your not gonna get up! "
