Days 8-9 (July 16th-17th)

Woke to thick fog with near-zero visibility for our hike back into Slovakia. Fog burned off to a lovely (hot) day by nine. Hiking on real trail again, wonderful! Pleasant hike down to Dreitoma and on to Trenčin. Saw some lovely goats! Checked into the Hotel Tatra, which is fancy and even has a computer available. Had planned to stay here two nights to recuperate and resupply on maps and food, but it´s completely booked for tomorrow night because of the Bažant Pohoda music fesival. Through Deborah´s negotations we will be staying tonight in a vacant shop in the downtown shopping area. It´s actually a lot bigger and nicer than our room here at the Tatra. Should be fun.
We´re hiking on tomorrow, as soon as I get time to find and study the maps...

  1. did you stay for the music concert?? I love to picture Deb negotiating: Let's watch 2 more BSG's! Ok, one more and then one in the morning? Ok, just one more but let's have a drink first. Ok, Ok, one more and we'll start right now, turn it on! turn it on! I love reading this! keep going, pet the goats! eat the boars!

  2. That's a fine looking goat!

    Sounds like you are finding your way admirably.

  3. Sounds wonderful! After the couple of days with little food and water that is. I'm jealous.
