Slovenský raj

The Slovak Paradise National Park, they call it; or to be more precise, the Národný park Slovenský raj. That's where we are now. We've made it as far as the town of Čingov for a two night stay and will be spending tomorrow hiking outdoors in the mountains.

It was a long drive today from the lovely town of Banská Bystrica, with a detour at the start of the day to Banská Štiavnica, a mediaeval mining town. To be honest, I wasn't all that impressed by it. Although it's a UNESCO World Heritage site, it's in a state of decay and the repair work isn't keeping pace with the dilapidation.

Anyway, if I'm going to survive a full day's hiking tomorrow, I'm going to need my beauty sleep, so off I go to bed. Our hotel has an unadvertised, wide-open 802.11 network, so I thought I'd take advantage of it to post this.
