14 January 2019 Štúrovo – Esztergom This was an easy day. It was just 4 km. After breakfast David drove me around Štúrovo and showed me almost the whole town. View on Esztergom. Here we see an interinsting water construction. You can close the wall and make it a bit higer so the town won’t be flooded. Then it was time to cross the border bridge. This is my bordercrossing song selected by Nathalie. It is somehow fitting because…
13 January 2019 Moča – Štúrovo My blister was still not gone it had become one big one instead of two smaller ones, luckily the one on my other foot was gone. Emi offered to give me a ride and she drove me to Mužla to the sultans trail. There I said goodbye. This is Emi. The road led over this unpaved road with friendly horses. But then the route led straight into the farmland, so the only…
12 January 2019 Komarno – Moča This is Eugen and his wife where I stayed this night. During breakfast we had an conversation and he asked where I would sleep tonight. I was not able to find a place. He texted an old colleague of him and gave her my contact details. when I was putting on my shoes is saw that the blister had filled itself overnight. I had treated it yesterday but now I had to do…
11 January 2019 Velký Lél – Komarno This is the view that I woke up with: When I packed my stuff and put on my shoes, I had a bit of a problem because yesterday I had been walking through the snow and they had become all wet. During the night the moisture had frozen. so I asked a guy at the camping where the barn belonged to and if I could warm up inside. But the guy did…
10 January 2019 Čičov – Velký Lél I woke up early in the morning with cold feed. I took out my foot warmers and attached them to my socks and after a while my feet warmed up and I fell asleep again and slept pretty long. The worst thing is getting out of you sleeping bag and packing your tent and bag, because during this time you cool down and you’re only getting warm again when you are walking. This…
9 January 2019 Ňárad – Čičov I left the warmth of the pension, followed the road back to the Donau and resumed my way on the dyk. The weather was much better than yesterday evening. Some small clouds and the sun was shining. I took a small breakfast and just seat down on the road on my sit mat so I wouldn’t have a wet but afterwards. But unfortunately my trousers ended up being wet anyway because I sat…
8 January 2019 Bratislava – Ňárad My Breakfast of this morning: When I was packing my bag I had trouble to get everything in, because my mother sent me so much food it just physically did not fit. Because I went to Wien to collect my mail, I could not do the first trip from Bratislava along the Donau (to my regret). So I took the buss to the first next town (Čunovo) in my planning. or I thought so….
7 January 2019 Today I went back to Wien to collect my mail at the post office. I took the tram to the station and then the train to Wien. At the post office there was a big package and a letter, both from my ma. I was also expecting another letter but unfortunately this one had not arrived yet. Luckily a friend of my brother lives in the area and will go to get it. This is the package…
I have only been a little over a week in Slovakia but I managed to notice some things. Life just continues when it snows. Also the public transport. Dutch people know what I mean (life comes to a still when there I one snowflake). There are a lot of places where you can gamble. Many dogs are kept outside of the house, also when it snows. Almost every village has a water tower. A big blue or metal ball on…
6 January 2019 Bratislava I didn’t went anywhere to day. I Watched some series and put many hours in searching for a sleeping spot between Bratislava and Budapest. And I did my laundry in this fancy machine that you had to start with your bankcard. And there was this door which I really liked because I also have a doctor who poster on my door at home. Outside it looked gray and the communist buildings are not really inspiring.
