Stundum fer allt öðruvísi en ætlað var...
... og varð engu haggað þótt margir fleiri en við væru komnir á staðinn til að skoða hellinn.
Hálffúl tókum við stefnu á bæinn Banska Bystrica. Lá leiðin um þröngan dal þar sem hver eyðibyggðin tók við af annarri, ótrúlegar "Hornstrendur" Slóvakíu. Þessi leið á örugglega eftir að verða einn af eftirminnilegust stöðum ferðarinnar. Það magnaðasta var örugglega að aka inn í eitt þessara eyðiþorpa sem sígaunahópur hafði lagt undir sig. Ég ...
Brrr, its cold in here
Today was pretty low key, mostly a driving day. We stopped in Slovakia for lunch and saw some beautiful hilly scenery driving into Poland.
