... wisselen ZONDER publiek) en daarna opeens als bij de Michalská Brána (Torentje) en dan ben je alweer bij de Donau/Danuja en dus aan de andere kant van de stad. Ondanks de brandende zon hebben we heel dapper het Hrad (Schloss) beklommen en onszelf daarna beloond met een Slowaaks sapje (ik kon nog enigszins iets maken van de menukaart, jippi!). Toen was de stad eigenlijk wel weer op, dus tot het eten hebben we wat rondgehangen (Notebooky poster ...

... path petered out. No longer were we walking through woods with singing birds, now we were walking single file along a narrow road shoulder with cars and buses zooming by. This was the second half of our walk. Fortunately the whole walk only took about two hours. Upon arriving in Devín we could see the castle up on the hill, but could not find the entrance. After walking back and forth along back streets in the town, finally we found a directional sign. This ...

... speak English) and asked her. She only spoke german, but confirmed I was in the right street, and were outside no.25. But she had no idea where No.3 was. She convened a meeting of passers-by who yabbered on for a couple of minutes, and it transpired none of them knew where No 3 was. (I pity the postman!)

... itinerary just yet, when the amazingly nice receptionist at Patio pointed me in the direction of some student housing. It was out of town and all but assured I wouldn't meet anybody new, but it was a bed to sleep on, and an exceptionally cheap one at that. I had walked just about every street in the city in search of a bed and finally I had found one. By the time I had set my bags down, three hours had passed since I had actually arrived in the city and I was ...

... am going to set their inanity down for time memorial (because I know you care) as they reach full fulmination. I have named them - not self-deprecating at all - "Derivative, Non-PC, Shallow, Ameri-Centric Frivolous Ruminations." The first addresses the (sometimes) burning issue of how to handle drinking beer every night: WARNING: This deals with my bowels - read at your own risk.

At the top, the view was obscured by trees, but the temperature certainly signalled we had gained the altitude.

... workcamp Jakub. Fuimos al bosque, también a las ruinas de un castillo, a clases en eslovaco y a ver hokey profesional. Me la pasé de lujo, fue de mis mejores semanas en ese viaje... ah, también fui con otro amigo a la mitad de bosque a preparar su sembradío de marihuana para la primavera.
