A day in Ptuj
Took a day trip to Ptuj (in the east side of Slovenia). I got there around 23:00, it's raining, and I have no idea where my hostel is. Eventually found it, and it was really nice and cozy (specially after the rain).
Next day I went around town. It's an old city, with nice little old center dating hundreds of years ago. I also went to a relatively small castle there, and they had there camp for kids where they dress and act as in medieval times.
The castle itself was pretty nice also, with several exhibitions. There were several funny midget statues, and a show of costumes they use on a traditional festival they have there each year, dressing up in sheep skins with long red tongues. It's somewhat like in the movie "the village".
