Dva pivo prosím. (2 beers please) thank you, that will be 1 euro 12 cents, excellent, would you like a slivovic with that? Welcome to Slovakia- country number 6.
As an indicator that we may now be in eastern Europe, Luke was pleased to see a man showing his friend what was almost certainly a sub-machine gun while they waited for a ferry ac
ross the river that is now called the Dunaj. The food has improved since Austria, the campsites now have barbed wire, locked gates and concrete walls; spoons now stand up on their own in the coffee, and there are loads of ladas and skodas.The cycle path deteriorated somewhat after about 50kms east of Bratislava (which is a charming city. Otto will be interested that the Slovak national philarmonic concert hall is 1934km
s from Amsterdam by bike). However, Slovak drivers are considerate and the people friendly. At the risk of sounding too English, the weather has been a mixed bag, but hasn´t stopped us making the most of our three days here, apart from causing Soph some distress when the cycle computer got damp and malfunctioned, blanking our trip distance so far. We cross the river to Hungary tomorrow after some rest and relaxation in the thermal pools of štúrovo.
