Slovakia

Slovakia. The first country where we experienced a language barrier, where we paid 70 cents for a glass of wine (we spent less than half our weekly budget in Slovakia) - also the first time I have been served wine in a pot glass. Where Jono partook in an eating challenge that saw him eat 1.5kilos of pizza in one sitting (don't ask) and where we stayed at one of the best hostels of our trip. It was safe to say we loved Slovakia (and surprisingly, Jon still loves pizza) but we were too busy enjoying ourselves that we didn't take nearly enough photos (and didn't have my camera at the pizza challenge).

Taking the train to Poprad (this was not the train for the whole journey thank goodness) ** Jon wants me to mention here that when we were walking to the station I said "I hope the train has Wi-fi". In case you were wondering, this train did not have wi-fi.

Wine in a pot glass - so classy!

Goulash and dumplings - we ate this for lunch 4 days straight.
