Atlant Hotel Uzhhorod

That is Lauren's direct quote after our first time trying to give Talia a bath on Saturday night. For the sake of time, i dont think i need to go into much detail, but even with Roslana's expertise, it makes me think that:
A. It was the first time she's ever seen a bathtub
B. Bathtime at the orphanage was not a pleasant experience

Anyway, here I am in Uzhgorod, the region's capital that Lauren couldn't ...

... I offered the serial number of my wobbly wanderer but alas to no avail. I even suggested they may be really impressed with my new biometric passport, but again to no avail. Debating with the uniformed forces seldom works but it's great fun when you've got time. The most fun I've had to date was trying to convince an Italian forestry ranger that I am in fact part of nature and therefore should be freely allowed to enter the nature ...

... after their 40 km ride from Kosice which started at 6 a.m after a night spent in a bus-shelter. Michal explained that he didnˇt want the extra weight of a tent. Youthful thinking, I remember it well. I was very impressed with Tomas´ innovative cardboard mudguards, as well as their supply of chocolate which was to be their diet for the next week. Youthful thinking, I remember it well.

After a fantastic ride on a good and unfrequented ...

Vecer po velkom okruhu juhovychodom Slovenska mame este cas sa trochu poprechadzat po centre Michaloviec pred tym ako odideme do nasho penzionu na brehoch Zemplinskej Siravy v dedine s priznacnym nazvom Kaluza. Zajtra teda mame prvy den oddychu ked nebudeme robit nic len spat a lezat na brehu Siravy.

Z Ciernej nad Tisou pokracujeme do jednej z naslavnejsich a mozno aj najslavnejsej vino produkujucej oblasti Slovenska - do Tokaja. Cestu na Tokaj sme nasli v pohode, ale dostat sa do Malej a Velkej Trne bola vcelku zdlhava zalezistost, pretoze sme pobludili po chotaroch aspon troch obci a nasli niektore osady v okoli Slvenskeho noveho mesta, ktore sme teda rozhodne nehladali. Nakoniec sme sa ale nasli a stastlivo dorazili do pivnic Velkej Trne.

Vcera sme obsolvovali cestu severovychodom Slovenka a dnes mame pre zmenu na plane jeho Juhovychodny cip. Vyrazame z Humenneho a nas prvy ciel je Cierna nad Tisou. Do Ciernej so sa chcel uz velmi dlho pozriet. Neviem ci je to preto, ze je to uplne na hraniciach alebo ze ked sa clovek pozrie na mapu Slovenska, tak z Bratislavy je len malo miest tak velmi vzdialenych. No tak ci onak dnes ideme prave tam!

Z Medzilaboriec sme pokracovali dalej cez Sninu. Cestou nam takmer podvozok zostal na miestnych rozbitych cestach, ale nakoniec sme stastne dorazili do Humanneho. Ubytovali sme sa nedaleko niekdajsej fabriky Chemlonu Humenne znameho po celom Slovensku ...

... Spent an amazing time in Slovakia, which has great mountains and countryside, not to mention the people! of course im still skipping a HUGE amount, but its so much to write, perhaps when I have a whole day with a computer alone to myself I can add more, although this might not happen for a time, since we dont have net access where we are staying in Budapest,

... Austro-Hungarian empire up on a promontory near Mukacheve with great views. Had a quick look round town and then down cycle sized pot holed main road past another Hungarian war monument. Had some food and beer in a small religious park. Onto better but busier road and Lehel complained he preferred the other side of the river where it was quieter. I just wanted to kill the k's and find a ...

... church across the street should have hinted to me there was a bit more here. We set into town and found a nice little cafe and two meat (possibly lamb?) filled crepes. Not really breakfast food, especially once the girl squirted mayo over them, but it was good and filling so I was happy! Heading further into the center, we got a little lost, tried to avoid gypsies, found a rich street (the houses made anywhere I've lived look like shacks!) and finally made it to our destination... the ...
