... on the website, figured we could fly in to Bratislava, then fly back from Krakow, for £8 total. Including all taxes and fees. How could I not whip the credit card out?

Back in the saddle alongside me, was Helly, my long-time travel partner and person I like to annoy most. She also gives a different perspective on things, and keeps me out of trouble. An essential traveling partner, for sure.

We flew ...

... asagisini cekiyorum. Artik klasik oldu...

Ana meydanda ogrencilerin klasik muzik acik hava konseri var. Bir suru insan toplanmis. Inanilmaz keyifli. Oturup sonuna kadar dinliyorum. Tum memleketler hayati guzellestirmek icin surekli bir caba icinde. Muzikle, resimle, heykelle, guzel sanatlarin tum dallariyla... Karnavallar duzenliyorlar, meydanlarda toplanip toplu gosteriler ve aktivitelere katiliyorlar. Biz de ...

... dito de Bratislava aonde impera o estilo soviético e a influência ocidental-capitalista ainda é saliente. Confesso que inúmeras são as vezes que provo ter um gosto excêntrico e gostar de particularidades que poucas ...

... last of which is just over three kilometres from the Danube and which commenced operation in the 1760's. The country side is quite hilly, making the transport of timber from the location to the Danube without "post industrialisation" mechanics all the more interesting. We also discovered the remains of a large red railway bridge, which was destroyed in 1944 by retreating Nazi forces. The WWII destruction of the ...

... and it was more difficult than writing in my mother tongue. After a few days my mood got back to normal and I started practicing my English skills again. Dia 32 Já meio que acostumado a passar o tempo na presença de velhos amigos depois de 5 dias em Viena com minha amiga Julie e seu namorado Michael, o 32o. dia de minha viagem, um domingo, foi uma volta a viagem solo. Novamente me encontrava só em um novo lugar. Nada de apavorante, já que a idéia central de uma ...

... great time. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures, Friday we are taking a day trip to Vienna so hopefully I will have more up this weekend. I love you and miss you all! Isn't it strange to think I'll be home in four weeks? Time is flying by already. Thanks for staying involved with me while I'm here, it is really helping me with my homesickness. Stay tuned and see you soon, S

... Jewish quarter and built a massive highway through the center of the old city - literally right in front of the church steps. The edge of town is also rimmed with communist style housing blocks which aren´t exactly picturesque but take a picture I did because I find them historically cool. Mostly the city is just great for walking around and sitting on the edge of the Danube, it was my first look ...

... a quick gander, we did some much needed grocery shopping and hit the road, about 200km northeast to Trencin. Trencin consists of an enormous castle (yes another one) and sweet FA else. We were lucky enough (or unlucky enough) to encounter a "Ye Olde Mediaeval Faire" happening in the castle grounds when we arrived. This included all manner of things knight-related with the promise of some entertainment. As the Closing Time Faery had foiled us again (we missed by ...

... castle more a big house thing with a museum.. but we still went in for a look. I haven't been feeling the best for the past few days and going out has wiped me out so we headed back to the hostel for me to try and sleep of whatever this is and hopefully I will feel a little better after that. So on that note our adventure to date in Slovakia ends. Hope all is well in Oz with everyone. Take Care till next time. Love The Borowickis

... Quiet squares gave plenty of opportunity to relax. Went in the church - a bit like any other with the exception of the carved altarpiece. Outside we chatted to a group of Slovaks on vintage 1960's Czech motorbikes - with trailers and a puncture. Ice cream and cake saw us to the campsite were Franz and I sat up till quite late in the bar knocking back the beers while chatting and laughing. I'll miss the company when we part as ...
