Tales From The Road

When we arrived in Slovakia it started snowing pretty much straight away and didn't really stop the whole time we were there! The campsite was lovely & for winter the toilets & shower were basically the bathroom of a small house & were very warm. There was also a room with cooking facilities, a tv & chairs we could use so we did to keep warm! It reached -5 during our first night there & when we woke up we realised why as there was a couple of inches of snow! We headed off for a walk up one of the nearby mouuntains which was really fun & it snowed the whole time, getting really heavy when we reached the top.

The next morning when we woke up there was even more snow but Scooby started just fine. We had to move on as this was the only campsite we could find open in Slovakia!

It is somewhere that we would like to go back to in the future to explore further & we did get to see lots of nice countryside whilst driving through. We picked up some trekking poles in the nearby Tesco which we needed whilst hiking in the snow! We have found that you can buy pretty much anything in the hypermarkets here, like soya milk. But some things are quite expensive like tortilla wraps have been pretty much 2 pounds as pack in most countries. We haven't been able to find marmite though. The alcohol has been very cheap & we have noticed that cigarettes are about a 1 pound a packet in most places.
