Hotel Ambassador Kosice

Tak to bol teda zjazd. Po zltej ... mne pistali gumy ako na starych ocelovych bicykloch a Valerovi smrdeli kotucove :) A prestavali brzdit :)<br><br>Odtialto pokracujeme v podstate rovinkou, Hnileckou cyklomagistralov do Nalepkova. Na telefone nam vyborne pomaha Ripo s vyhladavanim ubytovannia. Este raz, DAKUJEME!<br>

Pred 9tou sa stretavam sa s Valerom. Ideme spolu este do obchodu a potom zistuje, ze nema spravne termopradlo. Nuz tak navrat domov. Je to jeho druhy start :) O 9tej vyrazame, tesime sa na prvy kopec - Hylovsky. Medzitym mi vola Ripo, ze je niekde pri Mexiku a ze nas caka. Super ! Som rad, ze to stihol a pojde s nami na Kojsovku.. V Hylove Valer zistuje, ze problemy s presmykovackou ...

... We were told that Kosice is a very typical Slovak town so we strolled around taking in all that we could.  We walked the strip and checked out some shops.  They have a noticeably healthy supply of second hand stores that are dispersed pretty evenly over the old town between the usual higher end outlets.  Almost religiously upon arriving in a new country, we have a routine of checking out a grocery store.  We guess we like to see what the locals regularly consume to ...

This is the second major city in Slovakia and it has a wonderful pedestrianized historic center, with a dancing fountain. They play instumental music and the various water shoots dance in time to the music. It was a beautiful hot sunny day and we spent ages watching the children (and teenagers) playing in the water. I was tempted to ...

... to sleep in a bed on a train. I've heard all sorts of horrible stories of travelers being robbed, etc. but the reality for us is another delightful experience. Those cars are cozy and clean and feel safe to me. The only intrusion to my sleep is the series of screeching halts the train makes along the way...but I keep falling back asleep and it's the fastest and most comfortable 10 hr trip I've ever taken. Way beats a bus ride. And the real ...

... ass backpack to get there. The lady at checkin actually spoke a little english, she said I couldn't checkin until 2, a few minutes later she said 11. So I said screw it and sat in a chair and went to sleep in the lobby. An hour later (9am) she woke me up and gave me a room. I ended ...

... a rock show before I go, except for I didn't bring a black t-shirt from a band like Sepulthura, so I would stand out like a sore thumb By the way, Skype rocks. Free PC to PC calls anywhere in the world. And the cost to call someone in the U.S. from my laptop is $0.03 a minute instead of $0.99 and up from my cell phone. Whoo Hoo! Download it to your computers and I can bug you late night - just when you want to hear from me, I'm sure. Next Stop: Bucharest, Romania

... was the "Cage of Shame." That was a cage in the town square where they used to put prisoners to humiliate them in front of their neighbors and friends. It sounds rather interesting, but in reality it just looked like a large decorative iron birdcage. If we hadn't known what it was, we might have mistaken it for a piece of modern art. After seeing that, we had nothing to do in Levoca. We tried to see a movie, but the theatres only have movies on the weekends ...

... view of the Slovakian countryside beneath the church, Levoca just a blot on its coffee-coloured soils. Like Slovakia's churches, the Tatra Mountains attracts pilgrims all year round. In summer it is hikers and in winter the Tatras offer the best value for money skiing in Europe. Small, but incredibly high, this northernmost portion of the Carpathian Mountains erupts from the Eastern Slovakian countryside like the teeth of a giant. Hiking up to one of a dozen ...
