After another delightful Slovak hotel breakfast (bread, butter, ham, cheese, bacon, eggs, tomatos, cucumbers, yogurt, granola, juice, coffee) we said goodbye to our little shop and departed east towards Trenčianske Teplice. This is a fascinating old spa town full of "healing waters" resorts housed in a mix of old eastern-bloc architecture and older more fanciful buildings. We had a great lunch (and delicious oblatky for dessert) and were planning to hike on -- but just as we passed the last hotel at the far end of the park, the sky turned black and the parkgoers scattered in every direction, so we decided to make it a short day and stop for the night. Good call, nothing but heavy rain all evening. We spent the night in the Turkish and Finnish saunas.
