Into Slovakia

These hand made hay stacks started to appear just before the border of Poland and Slovakia. I had not noticed them in other parts of Poland



A view from the road of the Tatra mountains, covered in cloud, but at least it was not raining.



Blackie with the mountains in the background, no blue sky like Robs photos I am afraid.


My GPS got a little confused as I obviously drove along a new section of road that was not in the memory, kept trying to turn me off the side of the road.


Arrived at Penzion Drak (Dragon) and the owners have arranged to throw some of my clothes into the washing machine, they have also said that I can use buckets and a hose to give blackie a well deserved wash tomorrow, result.


I have my balcony room and I am currently making use of it to dry out my tent!! I also have a view of the Tatras but I am hoping for better weather tomorrow in order to take a photo.

  1. Hi Nick, are you sure those are hay stacks and not a group of Cousin It clones from the Adams Family Ha ha!Good to hear you are meeting other people on your journey, how nice of the 2 men from Latvia to share their beer with you. must of been very emotional to visit the concentration camps is it true that the birds dont't sing there? Hope your tent dries out for you. Jackie x

  2. Dober Vecer (Sloevian now), You are being looked after it seems even if the pictures look a bit moody. Have a nice steak and chips tonight - you have worked for it. The hay stacks look like standing stones to me so no dancing round them in the nuddy :) Have a nice day tomorrow and some mountain gazing. Sweet dreams, ljubezen Chrissie. xx

  3. Hi Dad,
    sounds like you are still having a great time and the photos are bringing your trip to life for us all.
    Sounds like the camps were amazing and very emotional- somewhere i would like to go one day.
    Don't forget the Jewish 1/4 when you go to Prague.
    Take care of yourself and hope you get a good night sleep
    Love always
    Lisa and Dave xxx
