Eating Red Rum in Ljubljana.

In Ljubliana I ate a horse. I was chomping at the bit for a bit of meat and I had heard that in Sloveina they make a meal out of Red Rums.

Minced up in a Burger was how I ate my thourghbred, I saddled it up with some Ketchup and Mayo. It must have come from good breeding stock becasue there was n't a gram of fat on it. The meat was juicy and moist, delicous too. Disguting you say? Come now, why the long face? M-eat is Eat. Ill be licking my lips next time I watch the Grand National.

Ljuliana has a coffee culture, House after house serves good cups of the Black stuff, especially by the river in the old town, under the shadow of the Castle. The city is pretty, cholcate box nice. It reminded me of some of the smaller cities in Belgium and a little bit of Italy, but its only becasue the Renasance was here too. Ljubliana, looks like a counter reformation town. There is Barque everywhere and with its residual beauty, the Popes can still hit hard.

The Slovians have their own style here too, I think it might be called Cessionist, its nice. Looks like Art deco, just before Art Deco. I climbed up to the Citdel, that was a struggle, I had to take a nap at the top, under the morning sun. When I woke up I paid 5 Europes to see a bad 3D film about the city.

Apparently tradition dictates that it was founded by Jason and the Argonaughts. I dont believe it, he would have been a long way from home if he had, and I think the Archeology is with me. The video skipped from 388 AD to 1850AD, so we can assume that nothing of interest happened in the interveneing 1200 years. Of course it did, for a start the castle had been built in the 12th Centuary and Napolean and his goons had taken the pound of flesh in the early 1800s.

Slovenia was the power house of Titos Yugoslavia and its easy to see when you compare it to, Belgrade or Sofia .It has a distinctly Western European feel, that could place it anywhere from Ravenna to Brussles, Bruge to Bravaeria. The prices were western European too, they werent the cheap eats normally found on the Balkland express. I was having a mare spending money on Horse and coffess, I didnt mind though, the city is very nice, in the evening I watched some superb Acapella singers.
