Day 10 Up at 9 AGAIN for breakfast which we thought was free but was slyly charged at the end and i dont even like eggs.. Made our way to the train sation to find there were none til 3 so waited in a oub just outside the station, where someone tried to sell me bed sheets.. As if i need to be carrying any more shit.. Eventually arrived at Kosice around 5 and made our way to Kosmalt a hostel where we were told they were full.. I was quite glad as it was a right shit hole looked like a crack house.. But our cab had gone so we had to walk to a bus stop.. Luckily a random elped us figure out where to go and we found the main place with all ... read more

September the 10th by now. We awoke in Miskolc, had breakfast (scrambled egg - soon regretted that) then found out it wasnt free. We missed our train to Kocise in Slovakia by 30mins so had to wait until 3pm. No bother, i decided to send home my massive sleeping bag. So i went to the Hungarian post but they were useless and didnt bother to try and speak english for me. But then some Hungarian guy came up and explained the postoffice was rubbish, that id be lucky to find a box to send my bag in and then spent 20mins of what turned out to be his lunch break from a neary shop to help me translate what i wanted and send my bag home. He even put his own address as from where it ... read more

day 15.....second day in vienna but i decided as i am apt to do that i wanted to go to bratislava instead so i caught the 9am ferry down..15 euros so good price. took 90mins at a good speed..slowing for the odd barge. some interesting sights..small one room fishing huts with net booms hanging out over water...and one castle. spent the day wandering around streets looking into shops and having cheap lunch from tescos after long black of course and then had a red wine about 4pm before jumping a tram to railway station for return trip..10 euros which was even better value. bratislava is nice..i actually like it better than vienna but thats just me. u shopped in euros or slovak kroner except when u got to the train staion where u had to use ... read more

Sommer, Sonne, Strand und roter Partyastra in Bratislava. Eben sind wir in Bratislava angekommen, haben nach leichten Missverständnissen mit Gertrude (unserer netten Stimme aus dem Navi) auch den Campingplatz gefunden (Ich habe halt mal wieder auf die Frauen gehört). Was wäre ein echter Luxusurlaub nicht ohne einen sozialistischen Bungalow mit Kühlschrank? Richtig - eben kein Luxusurlaub. Also haben wir uns in einer der vielen Hütten hier eingerichtet, 50m vom Strand, mit netten Damen im Bikini. Für den heutigen Abend haben wir das folgende Programm: Einkaufen, Baden, Grillen, Trinken. Step & Dennis ... read more

We headed out after breakfast relatively early on Highway 7 which heads due south to Slovakia. A word of advice for anyone wanting to take this route is wait a couple of years and it should be great, as it was there were roadworks all the way for about 100km. Every bridge was one lane with traffic lights controlling the flow so it took about 2 hours to reach the border. Once we reached Slovakia the roadworks finished and we cruised along smoothly. We bought a motorway sticker as we didn’t plan on spending much time in Slovakia as we felt there was not really a lot we wanted to see here. The motorway made a big zig-zag down the country but we thought that that was quicker than using the more direct highway and there ... read more

Our last day in Polannd was very wet, we had great plans to see all of the things that we weren't able to on Friday, due to the holiday, but after wandering around Krakow all morning in the rain, we dis covered that everything was shut on the Saturday too. After eating too much Sauerkraut for lunch, we retreated to our hostel and got dry and warm again. The afternoon was spent watching the Olympics, amd preparing ourselves for the 7am train the next morning, that meant leaving the hostel at 6am! The journey to Bratislava was pleasantly uneventful, although we did have to share a carraige for five hours with two four year old hyperactive twins called julian and oscar shindler.... Not good when you're feeling particularly tired! our day in brataslava was spent waking ... read more

20-08-08 Poles Apart We spent the rest of yesterday (19th) in Trencin, we really couldn’t get to grips with the place at all. It has this magnificent fortress - Unesco listed, and yet they seem pretty unenthusiastic about foreign tourism. In the fortress they make a point of nothing that the only language spoke by staff is Slovak, the national language. Hard to tell whether this is typical of other sites, but it is kind of a strange feeling being in a place that really doesn’t want too much to do with anyone who speaks another language - German or English. This is in very sharp contract to CZ where all children are taught English and German from an early age in school. It feels as if SK is very inward looking, I think give the ... read more
