Castles and UFOs – One evening in Bratislava

Finding a good spot for Wilma near Bratislava turned out to be much harder than expected. After circling around and losing our patience, we finally decided to look for somewhere on the Slovak-Austrian border. That's how we ended up in a tiny village called Deutsch Jahrndorf β€” the kind of place where foxes and rabbits literally say goodnight to each other. The local highlights? Apparently, a fire somewhere in the area was the talk of the town. And the shop opening hours were… let's say "creative." The local organic store looked so promising, but the sign read: Fridays, 14:00–18:00. Closed next Friday. So much for our shopping spree. Slightly disappointed, we reminded ourselves that we weren't here for village adventures anyway, we were here for Bratislava.

Sweaty summits & shy bears – our tour through Slovakia

After spending a few relaxing days at the B&B run by Martha and MichaΕ‚ near Krakow, our lovely hosts suggested to visit the Tatra Mountains in Slovakia. "If you like mountains and hiking, you should visit the Tatra Mountains in Slovakia." Mountains? Hiking? A chance to stretch our legs after eating far too many pierogi? Absolutely! So off we went and soon found ourselves parked in a beautiful spot in the heart of the Tatras, surrounded by towering peaks and a small, crystal-clear river.
