Dupa capitale si muzee trebuia si un munte, nu? Oprire la pensiunea Fortuna slovacia – 1 noapte 50 euro, cu mic dejun bufet suedez (aici am optat pentru) in Liptovský Mikuláš nu inainte de a vizita o pestera in drum. Pensiune micuta, curata, cu floricele, situata intr-o zona linistita cu peisaj muntos si aer curat, cu mult oxigen si bineinteles multe floricele.... read more

Pentru un rasfat binemeritat am decis asupra acestui minunat botel, hotel pe apa sau mai exact nava/slep/vas pe apa, sa fim in comuniune cu natura, sa o simtim in adevaratul sens al cuvantului, sa ne rasfete pe valurile Dunarii alaturi de un cidru sau o bere de coacaze negre-o delicatesa nou descoperita aici la bar. Numele - Botel Dunajsky Pivovar- o noapte- pret 99 euro cu mic dejun bufet suedez. Camerele aveau numele oraselor de pe Dunare, ca doar trece prin 9 capitale, asa ca ai de unde alege, dar nu am ales noi de data aceasta. Am primit camera Bratislava, camera spatioasa, curata. Am profitat de cele doua baruri existente, cel de jos era pentru clientii din afara, cel de la etaj pentru clientii botelului.... read more

Bratislava is a jumble of elegance, style, history dating back thousands of years, and happiness, all wrapped up with welcoming friendliness that is too often missing. I came to Bratislava on a suggestion from Tim and was prepared for an interesting stopover on the way to a desired destination. After two and a half days of turning up tiny laneways, visiting majestic churches, traipsing over castle grounds that date back thousands of years, I’ve come to realise that this should be a quiet priority on any Eastern European itinerary. It may not have the high reputation bestowed upon Vienna, Prague or Budapest, but it sits proudly on the Danube and compares favourably with these cities. As you pass by stately, sometimes neglected, buildings, plaques stop you in your tracks to announce that Napoleon signed the Treaty ... read more

. Our taxi to the airport today was a mix of Uber and the guy next door with a car we can rent. It was a little old corolla type of car with half the boot taken up by an LPG bottle. I’m pleased to report that he has the same sense of pride in his car and makes sure it is washed at least once a year. The case had to sit in the front with the driver and 3 of us squeezed into the back. I didn’t even bother with the seatbelt. The upside was that he knew the way, took a few risks to get us into the traffic, and he only cost about $5. He had a very good tip because where were going zloty are of no use. , We are ... read more

Opat skore ranne vstavanie. Na motoracik ma odprevadza vajco spolu aj s dcerou. Ta ide na bicykli a samozrejme, ze vyhladava vsetky bariny. Cesta do prahy trva dlhsie, bo z berona idem osobakom. Stojime skoro vsade. Okolie je fajn, na turistiku velmi vhodne. Raz to tu budem musiet prist preskumat podrobnejsie. Z nadrazia pesi presun florenc. Flixbus prichadza nacas. Kontrola listku a smer brno. Bus bol poschodak, tak strategicky som si sadol dole do storky. Bohuzial v brne stretko so soulikom odpada, tak idem do blizkeho obchodaku na zachod a na jedlo. Ha ale clovek si za 15kc moc toho nekupi. Fakt nepochopim ako v dnesnej dobe vo fastfoodoch v obchodakoch neakceptuju platobne karty. Nic mi neostavalo a musel som skocit do mcdonaldu. Samoobsluzny pultik a cakanie na jedlo. Prave tu zaucali novu babu, tak to ... read more
