The celica hostel is a former prison — but how about staying in a real one? (pic source)

I suppose the title of “worst vacation ever” will always belong to the occasional hiker who ends up dead in the mountains. But still: the BBC’s Kofi Sekyere had a helluva lousy time here too. According to his account, someone must have been telling lies about him, because without him having done anything wrong he was arrested one fine morning in Ljubljana. The police accused K. of defrauding a German company of 450,000 euros. “It was all so absurd I thought the mix-up would be sorted within hours,” he writes. Needless to say, it wasn’t. And it was his birthday, too.

All things considered, he took it really well. He even posted a picture of himself shaking hands with the arresting officer. You can read the entire story here: ID Theft Left Me in a Slovenian Prison.

(Thanks Camille!)
