Thanks Fredrik74, it was definitely one of the hot items from the breakfast buffet at our Lake Bled hotel. Definitely not a Slovenian thing in the slightest as the rich food at dinner had no ill effect on me at all. I do have a habit of eating questionable things from questionable places but with the odd graphic exception I'm normally ok.

Callas is in that handful of incredible voices that us opera fanatics know. She was divorced by Onassis so he could marry Jackie Kennedy the widow of JFK
Thanks for the info adampenrith, we are not fans of opera but her voice was hauntingly beautiful, especially in that setting. However, the story was just too sad to sit through on what was supposed to be a fun holiday. Maybe we will watch the film in full if it appears on one of the streaming services we dip in and out of.

Top of climb, I couldn't agree more after we got soaked and a little scared in Lake Bled. Seeing a storm like that from the castle must have been amazing!
