Pekny mesacny vylet v relativne teplych krajoch, i ked v marokupo zapade slnka bola dost velka zima. kanarske ostrovy (tenerife) uplne paradne, neuveritelne vela moznosti turistikovat, sem sa teda este musim niekedy vratit. Plaze tiez fajn, more ciste, len neuveritelne kvanta dochodcov. Doprava bezproblemova, ked nefungovali busy, stop nebol problem. Strava sa tez dala. Ubytka na urovni ale to sa aj odrazalo na cene V maroku som popozeral dalse chybajuce casti a opat tak ako minule ani teraz ma to neako extra nenadchlo. Uz mi tu zostava len pobrezie stredozemneho mora a tura na jebal toubkal. A ak by bol cas tak aj navsteva paradise valley (to som chcel cul ale nevydalo), vodopadov ouzane ci pohoria Akchour a samozrejme futbal (ten sa ani teraz nevydaril). Ale myslim, ze sem sa uz asi fakt nevratim, mozno akurat ... read more

To Slovakia or not, that is the question. Formerly part of Czechoslovakia, Bratislava is Slovakia's capital city. It Is located on the train route from Budapest to Vienna, sits along the beautiful Danube River, and very close to the Austrian border. It became the capital as recent as 1993. But the nightlife is said to be among the best in this part of Europe, though the city itself is nota raving beauty. Notably a nice place to hang out, Bratislava is safe, friendly, and hassle-free. And there is always something to do, which I like. With a population of only 415,000, it is smaller than the city of Fresno, next door to my home in Clovis. The city still has a goodly share of Communist era buildings in the modern city center. The city has two ... read more

Sofia na vikend uplne paradna ale viac asi nie. Opat som mal stastie na fajn couchsurfera, kvoli ktorej som zmenil plany a miesto futbalu sa nechal prepchavat v restike a vecer zavrseny fajn prechadzkou po nocnej sofii. Turistika nesklamala, ta prakticky nikde nesklame, bud ponukne super vyhlady, zaujimave zakutia alebo len totalne precistenie hlavy.

I'm so glad this was a tour stop a very small nation with a lot of pride. Standing at the castle our guide told us on a clear day you could see Vienna! Slovakia is surrounded by Austria, Czech Republic and Hungary. It would be a close race for best guide ever on this trip but I might have to pick Monika in Bratislava. I know I keep saying our guides has such passion for history and country but Monika really brought it home. Through the countries we visited the stories were similar in that all guides spoke of the wars, occupation of Communist leaders, what it did to the people and economy. Ever present was the joy in being able to rebuild and restore their countries to there former glory. Monika speaks at least 5 ... read more

Prichadzame na hranice a sou moze zacat. Ukrajincom sa moc nechce ist v takejto rannej hodine ale nakoniec prichadzaju, kontroluju pasy, tie potom vyzbieraju. Zacina sou s otvoreni wc-ka, colnikovy ani soferovy to nejde, mixuju s tym do vsetkych stran a nic. Prichadza stewartka a wcko odomyka :) Trosku sme si postali, vracaju nam pasy a stojime na uzemi nikoho. Z ukrajiny na slovensko nenormalne kolony aut. A uz sme na slovenskej colnici. Vsetky batohy so sebou a podme ho na kontrolu. Najskor je otvorene len jedno okienko a vnom totalne neprijmena colnicka. Na kazdeho ukrajinca huci,kde mate viza, kde mate potvrdenie o zaplateny,ze nepotrebujete viza. Normalne ich ani nechce pustat ale nakonec pusti. K nej sa pridava jebnuta ukrajinka z busu, sa rozculuje, co idete tade prvy krat, sa ani neviete k okienku spravne postavit. ... read more
