The Bossen and Bergen of Slovakia.



Surprisingly, we had to wait less than an hour.. :)

You see that castle, uphill? We ended up camping just behind it. At night, we hided (is that proper English?) most of our stuff in the forest, to be able to watch the semi-finals in town; Stara L'ubovna.


Just seconds later, the lady of the house showed up. She didn't look too happy, and it was just impossible to explain why we were hugging her orange house in the early morning...

A train took us to Spisska Nova Ves, which we left on foot, towards Slovensky Raj.






Lots of logging going on.





Just looking at these pictures makes me thirsty.

It was fantastic. We hiked upstream, without our bags, in a kind of gorge, for hours and hours. It was exciting, a little scary sometimes, and always very, very, beautiful.









Back home after a long day (at a real campsite!)

Spisska Nova Ves.

Taken from the train, on the way back to Poprad.

The Bossen and Bergen of Poland.


Taken at the railway station of Warsaw, on our way east, towards the ancient forests of Poland.








Mosquitoes; each of us had a private swarm... And grey hands at the end of the day, from all the dead bodies :)

We stood face to face with a European bison for a few seconds, before he took off, into the woods, breaking stuff, and causing the ground to tremble...




On our way to the southern Polish mountains , we stopped in Krakow.


Supporters, wherever we were..



Hihi.. These guys make me laugh. Always.



Best campsite ever. Also among the cheapest :)




We managed to reach Slovakia by foot! (Without telling you where exactly, in those southern Polish mountains, we started..)
