A day in Slovakia

Bratislava, Armpit of Europe

Bratislava
... day. tall, cement, bland looking buildings. It was worth the trip but nothing extremely special. If I had more time to check out more of slovakia and plan better I might have enjoyed it more. Now I have a reason to go back, b/c it was a nice city, and the ...
Walking Bratislava
The old castle stands on a low hill beside the river and the old city. Inside the castle walls is the White Palace: it's quite plain when seen from close up, but from afar it looks well. The grounds of the castle and views across the city and river ...

The rains had broken and the day was fresh, a really fat fish kept breaking the surface of the lake and I thought of Tom's wise words "get fishing hooks man", I was salivating. I found the best way to overload my bike and finally set off at about ...
48 km
... and up and up and up and up and up and up and up I reached the top and screamed all the way down back into Slovakia in a flash. I stopped at the first shop and purchased and scoffed their entire stock of chocolate. Peddled on to Zdiar on the eastern side ...
63 km
Beautiful scenery , brilliant downhill sections, reached a top speed and trip record of 69 kph. Arrived in Poprad having seen another of my species, though not nearly as friendly as I am, so left him alone. Found a campsite 15 km south east of ...
34 km
Woke up at dawn, and found mushroom which I'd been told were good to eat, cooked them with olive oil and pepper, delicious. Funny things fungi, sometimes they make magic and sometimes fanno fatale. At this point I'd done about 300 km of really ...
Bratislava by Bus

In case you thought this was a holiday....

Bratislava Day 2
... surreal, but quite funny as the presenter didn't speak nuch english. It would be good if it was on TV - I might be famous in Slovakia! Went home and got chatting to a guy called Remco from Holland. He was nice and we agreed to go out with him later. ...
Freezing my @ss off in Bratislava
So yeah, I got here last night from Vienna. The bus cost 7.70 Euros, and the lame bus driver made me pay an extra euro to put my bigger backpack in the cargo compartment under the bus... oh well. We did arrive exactly an hour and a half ...

Salt, sun and, (finally), scenery!
After last night's apocalyptic welcome to Krakow and a great Polish white-bean-and-nameless-meat soup at Greg & Tom's Hostel, today dawned with yet more rain. We packed the bike in the rain, had a quick lap of the town square in the rain, and rode ...
Mozi, kde si na buduci tyzden?
Dnes rano Anton vosiel do kancelarie a hned ako ma zbadal mi s potmehutskym usmevom polozil otazku: "Mozi, kde si na buduci tyzden?" Rychlo som si v hlave premietol moj kalendar a povedal som: "No, na Slovensku..." A on na to: "Si si tym isty?" To ...

Bratislava
... anticipated the probability of spending my birthday night here, and so had been delighted to read in the Lonely Planet guide that Slovakia was 'most famous for ice hockey and beautiful women' - perhaps I might chance upon a night of passion with a local ...
A number 2 please
A short trundle through beautiful sunflower fields, past a few machine gun-totting Austrain soldiers in small wooden sheds, and we were into the Slovakian border post. They just had a quick look at the passport, which was a bit dissapointing, was ...
The Luxury Leg: Part 2...Eastern Europe...
... We had a relaxing dinner of pizza and pasta, and enjoyed our last night in Hungary. The next day, we headed to Bratislava, Slovakia. Just the mention of this place conjures images from the movie Eurotrip. If you haven't seen it, it is a hilarious ...
Meet the parents (again)
June 25 (Saturday), Krivan I slept like a boulder. Jane says she didn't do anything to wake me except look at me but I can't believe I would voluntarily awake after a slumber like that. After a shower and a shave I felt vaguely normal again. ...
