oday LT took a wonderful boat ride to an old Italian village on Lake Garda called, Sirmione. There she discovered this most wonderful castle and just had to see the inside...
She discovered the center of the village where modern day life was moving along but continued to look for the entrance to the castle, oh how she longed to be a princess waiting for her prince to come sweep her off her feet, oh wait a minute that was a different era...
She found the entrance straight ahead and didn't waste a moment paying to see this amazing 13th Century Castle in all its glory. She went across the drawbridge and over the moat, yes there's a moat, to enter 13th Century Princess Land...
Once inside though she was very confused by what she witnessed...
There were these poor little giants shackled to the wall like common criminals...
The enslaved peasants who probably had to clean each stone with a toothbrush just for a piece of day old bread. She continued on despite this sad state of current affairs and got lost. She ended up in the dungeon and didn't know how that could have happened, but the view was nice....
So she turned around only to find a different view from that dreaded dungeon.
What is a girl to do, especially since no prince was going to come and save her...but wait that's the view of the modern day village, HELP! She screamed get me out of here, I don't belong in the dungeon I'm a princess, I swear I am!
When she thought all was lost in walked a cute Italian guide to let her know it was time for her to leave because all the other visitors had been waiting to see that view and she had kept it hostage long enough, oh well so maybe she wasn't in the dungeon, and she wasn't actually a princess, but it did have a nice ending... The all lived happily ever after to catch the next boat out of there!
