Blogs from High Tatras, Presov Region, Slovakia, Europe - page 3

I've been moving from south Poland to Slovakia to Lviv,Ukraine(here now). I haven't had access to computer long enough to upload photos,so will try to catch up tonight. Tricky using Ukrainian computers in Internet cafe, but someone in hostel had faster computer so I could download pics from camera to flashdrive. I'll describe places from last four days. One of the neat things about Europe is that you can cross most borders easily and enter a new country for the afternoon. Friends from Gorlice took me for a drive into Slovakia on Saturday afternoon. We went to Bardejov (not on this website). I'm uploading photos blind, (can't see them when I choose photos so if things are not jiving, gowith the flow). I was surprised that the main square in Bardejov was empty for a ... read more

Dobry Den everyone. We are now in Slovakia in the High Tatras. We got here last night and have been enjoying the views of the peaks above us. We have been enjoying local slovak foods including pasta with nuts, pierogis and something called the Robbers Purse. Today we took a cable car to the peak. We were up about 2634m. Beautiful views above the clouds and we even had a cup of tea at the peak. Took a ton of photos. Tomorrow we head to Bratislava and then onto Budapest. Missing you guys, wish you were here. Enjoying the cooler temperatures here in Slovakia. love Katy... read more

The tourist info lady didnt warn us that we´d be hiking through snow and dara was not surprisingly a bit chilly in his shorts. The seccond day we decided to do a long hike (5 hours up and 3 down). We saw 3 pretty waterfalls. Most of the hike was again through snow, the last 2 hours was challanging, Snow was deep and a very steep uphill. When we got to the top everyone was having a beer, so were obliged to reward ourselves with one too! Early Beers Most mornings as we´re having our bowl of cereal we´ve seen people sitting in cafes/bars having beers. Today was ... read more
