Slovenians make fab food!

Most people don't know this - on my mum's side I am only first generation Australian - you see, she was born in Slovenia! That's a tiny little country smaller than my state, to the right of Italy, below Austria, and bordering with Croatia and Serbia. Mum and I visited Slovenia and Italy in the year 2000, and met up with family she hadn't seen since she was a girl. It was such a blast, and so incredible to see where my mother was born (yes, saw the actual hospital which is now empty). It's one read

I have found my super-villain citadel.

I give you Predjamski Grad. Located near Postojna, Slovenia, this castle butts up to the side of the mountain and it is built directly into the caves behind it. There isn’t even a back side to the castle, it just empties out into the natural limestone caves. From the Wikipedia article: Castle was first mentioned in year 1274, then named Luegg, when Aquileian patriarchs built the castle in gothic style. The castle was built under a natural rocky arch high in the stone wall to make access to read

El Castillo de Predjama, el castillo dentro de una cueva

El Castillo de Predjama es uno de los mayores atractivos turísticos de Eslovenia. Su atractivo no es sólo debido a la espectacularidad de su emplazamiento en la boca de una cueva en medio de un precipicio de 123 metros, sino también a la peculiar historia de la muerte en él del Barón Erazem Lueguer, una especie de Robin Hood esloveno que atacaba las caravanas de mercaderes de la importante ruta que unía Viena Con Trieste. Este castillo muy probablemente fue construido en el siglo XII, pero la p read
