We crossed the Slovakian border on Wednesday and spent a couple of nights in Žilina. Whilst there, we enjoyed/suffered our hardest day of hiking yet, in the Malá Fatra National Park: lots of elevation change, rough terrain and a fat baby on my back.
We're now in the town of Banská Bystrica, where we've extended our stay from one night to two, because it's such a pleasant town. We've now driven more than 2000 km on this trip.
Tomorrow, we'll start heading up towards the Tatra mountains.
