COLOURING NIK
CUT-OUT NIK
Are you eager to find out how Nik arrived in Apulia?
An exciting story worth discovering, come and get to know the tale of the mascot of the Royals Gate Hotel in Rodi Garganico. He is the one who keeps the children company and ensures that they have a great time, amidst dreams, games and fantasies!
The fable of Nik
Nik, the guard in short sleeves
Nicolas, trustworthy and caring Royal Guard,
Serves in England an old and somewhat tiresome Queen.
With devotion, he keeps a watch over the jewels of the castle every day,
but his dream since a child is to live in the most beautiful land!
“No good Royal Guard may ever leave the fortress!”
His mother scolded him, thereby consoling that sadness.
But within the heart is the desire to sail away on a boat
to leave that uncomfortable funny hat forever behind.
“I would like to go where the sea is crystalline
so I can take a dip early in the morning.
Somewhere where the sun warms my skin
and my heart is enthralled by watching the stars.
Where the olive trees are always green
and you lose yourself in the infinite blue of the sea”
One fine day, while Nicolas is serving,
A little bird settles, revealing a clue.
“If you close your eyes with a wish to be fulfilled,
The Royal Gate of the Castle may surprise you!”
And boom! A sudden gust of wind blows the hat off,
The Guard chases it up to the majestic entry gate.
He picks up his hat, stops to look at the shiny opening
and closes his eyes, thinking only of his lifelong dream.
Nicolas remains immobile and fearful of muttering,
then he disappears and three, two, one finds himself on the sea in Apulia!
Now he is happy! Here they call him Nicola, a name from Apulia, without the "S" which is a bit too English.
And the "S" decided to lend itself to his beloved seaside house,
“RoyalS Gate”: A tribute to the Door that his dream has made come true.
He prefers to be called Nik by his friends,
and here everything is easy, just smile and do whatever you want!
The hat has become his trusted companion,
even when he takes a bath he does not take it off!
But in Apulia it's hot, the sleeves had to be cut off,
Or it might have burst under that sun!

Remember him, because
dreams can open all doors.
