Find accommodation in LjubljanaDont Mess With Old Ladies
16. February 2008 | en
I have now made a vow to travel less by plane and much more by motorcycle . You become so quickly spoiled by the sheer freedom that when you do travel again as a backpacker you want to rip your hair out at the limited possibilities. (What? follow a bus or train schedule? are you mad??? I want to stop here, and go there, and the drivers just IGNORE you!).
However, it does mean you miss out on the crazy people who populate trains. I went to Slovenia for the day and this old lady across from me kept trying to speak to me in Croatian. I had no sweet clue what she was actually saying to me. When the border guy came around she wanted to peak at my passport. She kept saying “Slovenian?” “Macedonian?” over and over. I kept correcting her, telling her I was Canadian. “See CANADA, Canadian.” But she would only grin and shake her head at me like I couldn’t fool her. Then she squawks “Macedonian” and proceeds to whack me on the arm no less than 3 times! I really began to wonder if she figured I was trying to pull one over on her. yes your right, fake passport. hahahaha. Please dont beat me up! But that’ll teach me for dying my hair black and heading to Croatia.
However she never ended there. In addition to assuming to my nationality, she also assumed to share my water. Because when a lady joined us and asked if we had any water she whacked me again and pointed to the new lady and then at my bag. She ratted out my small bottle of water! And the woman took it and drank it, needless to say I never had any more water to Slovenia. But the entire train ride was so beautiful that I didnt mind. All I could about was how awesome the riding would be there !!!
