We had a great breakfast at our B and B. Cold cuts, lots of different kinds of fruit, bread, cheeses--and on and on. We exchanged stories with the other American couple there.
We walked around town in the morning and had lasagna and pizza for lunch. After lunch we visited the library (formerly the Small Castle) and then climbed the hill to the Ptuj Castle. There were a variety of exhibits ranging from brass bands to arms, all tended by a woman who took her job seriously. She let us in to a couple exhibits and then I decided to go sit in the courtyard and rest my feet and G went on alone. He said she cornered him and demanded, "Vere iss vife?" G took her outside and pointed down at me. Then she let him go back in. Strange.
We had supper at Amadeus Restaurant. I had the vegetarian plate and G had pepper steak. Mine was mainly three big dumplings and some soggy veggies. Very disappointing. Then we walked across the Darva River. It's a huge river.
We found out why we had to transfer to a bus to get to Ptuj. A railroad bridge had given way--so it was fortunate we were not going over it.
First photo is the breakfast room in our B and B.
Second photo is the library which was formerly the Small Castle -- built in the 1200's to house the overflow from the big castle up on the hill. In 2000 it was renovated and is now the town library. Paul, I'm sure you approve!
