Slovakia
A 700 year old castle now made into a hotel.
The Gerlachovsky stit the highest mountian (2654 m) in the Carpathian range.
A photo op, just in case you forgot what we looked like.
Slovakia has a few more mountians and what a beautiful view with the colors of fall that we haven't seen in 2 years.
Solvakia was a whirlwind tour. We headed up into the High Tatras in the north because we were ready to see some mountians and we heard the hiking was good.
The first (and only) night in Solvakia we got a pension across the road from a 13th century castle that had been made into a hotel after the denationalization of the country. The kind owner of the pension we were staying at was more than happy to give us a tour of the hotel which included climbing a 400 year old carved wooden staircase that has now turned almost petrified. We looked into a room in the tower that rented for at least 125 €/night, a bargain but not quite as reasonable as our room at 28€,plus we had the whole place to ourselves (we even had to lock up the doors when we left in the morning).
The weather is still great, blue skies but cool enough for comfortable riding. In fact the riding was so good we kept on riding all day and blew off the hiking. By the time we started to look for a room we were in Hungary. Oh well, Slovakia is a small country and we just got carried away.
