We arrived in Bratislava in the early afternoon and immediately headed towards the oldtown. I must say, this city kind of surprised me…it manages to integrate the old-word with chic modernity. Right in the heart, I saw some of the coolest/swankiest bars and lounges outside of Miami. Our mission was to slow our pace and just stroll the streets. The city felt a bit sleepy, so our main source of entertainment was a scavenger hunt for the famous Bratislava statutes and then, much more importantly, the hunt for the perfect dinner location. It really was the perfect way to wind-down the trip. We settled on a spot that served traditional Slovakian cuisine, meaning, the national dish of Bryndzove…a creamy curd made of potato dough and sheep cheese sauce…hmmm hmm hm! Another bonus is the fact that ... read more

Po naozaj serioznych pripravach konecne nadisiel cas odchodu. Kedze sme sa nechceli hned prvy den vysilit, rozhodli sme sa pojat prvu etapu relaxacne - t.j. presunut sa do BA. Po srdcervucom luceni na Zilinskej stanici s pocetnym davom nasich obdivovateliek ("..bez darcekov sa nevracajte!"), sa nam konecne podarilo nastupit do vlaciku smer Podunajska nizina. Po chvilkovom vahani, kedy sa zrejme strojvodca nevedel rozhodnut ktorym smerom pohnut vlak, sme sa konecne dali do pohybu. Vlacik jednym smerom a my druhym smerom hladat po vagonoch miesta, kam usadime nase zadky a rupsaky. Ako sa dalo ocakavat, jedine volne miesto sa naslo v jedalenskom vozni. To bolo v konecnom dosleku vcelku pozitivne, ponevac casnicka bola mila a pivo uslo. Po uspesnom ubytovani sa v BA doslo este k poslednej rychlej (skoncila o druhej rano) reorganizacii nasich rupsakov a islo ... read more

Po strastiplnych pripravach a mesiacoch planovania (t.j. vcera sme nakupili lieky a kolektivne sa zhodli ze na letisku v Dili sa kupi mapa a mozno sa urobi aj plan..) sme konecne pripraveni na cestu do neznama. Aby sme aspon najblizsie okolie presvedcili o tom, ze sme to zobrali seriozne (a aby nas do Indie vobec vpustili..), podarilo sa nam vybavit viza (vid. foto) dokonca uz asi s tyzdnovim predstihom pred odchodom. Letenky boli dokonca az neuveritelne dva tyzdne vopred, ale vzhladom na utrapy ktore ich vybavenie sprevadzali, nebude sa tato skutocnost uvadzat ako svetly bodik nasich priprav.. Dalej niet co dodat. Na tomto blogu budeme v ramci moznosti popisovat vsetky utrapy, ktore nas popripade stretnu a vymyslat si nejake pozitivne fakty na ukludnenie rodinnych prislusnikov...... read more

The beauty about Europe is you can race through a lot of countries in a short space of time. Slovakia is a neat little country which is a bit off the regular tourist trail. Spent a couple of nights in Stary Smokovec in the High Tatras Mountains. This area is riddled with hiking and cycling trails in the summer, which turn to ski trails in the winter; a paradise for the outdoorsy types. Only had one nice day during our stay, so did a 6-hour hike from Hrebienck (1285m) to Zbojnicka Chata (1960m). Totally awed by the rugged beauty and autumn colours. Didn't come across any English speakers, mainly Czechs and Poles. It's also highly recommended to take out Mountain Rescue Insurance, which only cost 20Sk for the day ( A$1). The funny thing is that ... read more
