Hotel Yasmin 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>

On our last day in Kosice, we got up long before dawn because we had parked our rental car on a side street when we were supposed to return it to the Airport by 7PM the previous night. So, we returned to the car, found it mercifully intact with no tickets or flat tires, drove through spotty rain to the airport, which we missed twice due to the difficulty of navigating a crazy Slovakian ...

... me some rentals in Kosice and then her husband took me out to a village to find some property that was for sale out there! Then we went back to thier house and talked for a long while about how things work in slovakia and what to look for and how to get a visa etc. etc. It was wonderful!

... that meeting us is better than winning the lottery...having my hand warmly held for a long time...there is such a sense of familiarity and belonging here....and I watch Corey get to know this side of her family...she was never raised w/ Czech relatives as I was, speaking another language, with doilies on all the furniture and radically mismatched floral prints all over the house...and endless dishes of food brought out to you, welcoming you as ...

Levoca is a sleepy medieval town where the town wall is still almost entirely intact and 3 out of 4 gates/towers are still standing. It is besieged by tourist buses by day and then very quiet and peaceful at night. We stayed in a cheap private pension/guesthouse which was basic but all we needed (even if the beds were a lil hard). SAw all the main sights in town including a 'cage of shame' where disobedient/talkative women ...

... Slovakia's second largest, sits about 70 km from the Ukraine border. We visited several ancient churches in small and not so small towns along the way. In each church, off from the altar, there was what seemed to be a funeral service. People lined up to walk to the body which was not in a casket but lying on a slab with a sheet covering it. It wasn't until after the third church that I clued in. It was Saturday, the day after Good Friday, the day before Easter ...

... Hotel zwecks Ausgang. XXXXX Finally the landscape is changing and I enter to a kind of mountains with many nice hills. At 29th I will spend the last night on ukrainian ground once again in wild. Since I followed to a sign of a hostel I found a restplace at a river. Unfortunately there was a edge of 10m down to the river but it was possible to climb down. After crossing the ...

... lesser degree): they're polite and helpful, but they don't smile much, at least not to me. Contrast this with other places I've been, such as Vietnam, where you so much as glance at most people and they grin. The current exchange rate is about 25 Slovakian koruny to the Canadian dollar, so I'm walking around with bills that say things like 100 and 1000. At least it's easy to calculate in my head: 100k = 4$. The old part of Kosice is very pretty, with the ...

... Prague's centralised rule in 1993, it quickly fell back on its folk traditions and agricultural industry. In Eastern Slovakia change has been slow. The walled medieval towns and untouched historical centres snooze comfortably in the past, while the grimly beautiful Tatra Mountains surveys a land beginning its second tentative shot at independence. Spisske Podhradie is a typical Eastern Slovak country town. Gypsy boys play football against Slovak boys in the ...
