Day Trip to Slovakia

A travel blog entry by tanya.lesiuk

... why the hell not go to another country when it's so close. I could move to Bratislava in a second. Why? It's just that feeling you get when you feel at home. Maybe it is the sound of the language, which is very similar to Ukrainian, or it could be the perfect balance of old and new within the city. If there was a city so far in my travels that is closest in feel ...

Except we couldn't work out how to get there, as the River Vistula proved to be an insurmountable obstacle! Eventually we found a bridge, but even then there was no direct route up the steep slope. After risking our lives on an 100m stretch of road, we gave up and turned back. Never mind, the sun ...

My grandma makes it look like she can’t stand my grandpa from the outside, but above and beyond cooking and cleaning for him every day, in moments of weakness she will do something really sweet for him like bring him some desert from the “cukraren” (sweets bakery), or set up the TV for him on the satellite (which only she knows how to do) so he can watch his favourite ...
