Trenčin
We made the drive from Auschwitz to Trenčin last night. Our original plan for a place to stay didn't work out because it was full but they gave us the name and location of another pension to try. It turned out that they had a couple of vacancies. We arrived too late last night to do anything but eat and turn in but it's a small town and we knew we'd have all day the next day (today) to explore.
