Like tears in rain 🇸🇰

🇸🇰 Poprad
The weather is absolutely atrocious here today, so I gave up on a visit of the huge ruins of Spiš castle. Can’t be arsed to take a train, and then wait an hour for a bus, and same thing back, all under the rain.
Instead I wrote the novel that was yesterday’s blog, and then I went in town to eat and do a bit of grocery. Poprad doesn’t have much to stare at, so it was the long walk back to the airbnb in the early afternoon.
I am kicking myself with a thorn within my hand for such a bad visit of Slovakia. It has so much nature wonder to offer, old castles… that I didn’t see. Poor planning, luck, exhaustion and my stupidity with the bag yesterday made pretty much all visits collapse. Slovakia just went high up the list of countries I want to revisit urgently. In summer maybe though.
I worked on this video later at the appartment:
Train count: + 0
Total: 153





If I’m not mistaken, you crossed the country of your paternal ancestors. Were you able to get close to your grandfather’s home village? Your uncle Jacques
You are indeed, mistaken. He was born in Slovenia, not Slovakia. 🙂
