Travelogue Slovakia (9) The Pieniny Region
Written on October 6, 2006
Well, last weekend I went to an area called Pieniny to go rafting. The town is on the Slovak/Polish border and is idyllic as are so many other places here. We missed the rafts at 11am so we had some time to explore the area by foot. Finally, at 1245, we were able to board a raft and ride down the river for about two hours. It was much less demanding than the death-defying feat I did the week before. When we finished the raft trip, we had a choice of riding the bus back to our original location or renting bikes and biking back. We chose the latter and I'm so happy we did. We were able to follow a bike trail back and stop and enjoy nature whenever we wanted. It was really a great day. Please see descriptions of the pictures below.

#1 Here is the 'river.' On the right is Slovakia and on the left is Poland.
#2 The bridge to Poland.
#3 On the water.
#4 Our navigator. He spent the whole tour telling mother-in-law jokes rather than explaining what we were seeing.
#5 One of my friends from Presov.
Okay, let me know what you think, Russ
